Re: [ontology-summit] First Model Bench Challenge

[Adrian Walker <adriandwalker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Looks like a good real world test example.

Does anyone have a story about how the ontology could or would be used once completed?

For example, could it be used computationally in preparing EuroGov statistical reports, or would it just be guidance for people programming that task to read and understand while they write in Java and such?

                   Thanks,  -- Adrian

In OpenCyc:

(isa WeddingEvent-Generic AccomplishmentType)
(genls WeddingEvent-Generic SocialEvent)
(genls WeddingEvent-Generic ActingInConcert)
(comment WeddingEvent-Generic "The class of all events associated with
marriage. Subsets include WeddingCeremony and WeddingReception.")

(genls WeddingCeremony Ceremony)
(genls WeddingCeremony WeddingEvent-Generic )
(genls WeddingCeremony MakingAnAgreement)
(genls WeddingCeremony PairingObjects)
(comment WeddingCeremony "This is the collection of actual wedding
ceremonies. Use WeddingReception for the party afterwards and
WeddingEvent-Entire for the whole shebang.")

(isa WeddingEvent-Entire AccomplishmentType)
(genls WeddingEvent-Entire WeddingEvent-Generic)
(comment WeddingEvent-Entire "A subcollection of SocialOccurrence. Each
instance of WeddingEvent-Entire is a complex event, usually discontinuous
in time, consisting of all of the applicable "parts" of the event of
getting married. These various parts will be subEvents of the
WeddingEvent-Entire. They minimally include a WeddingCeremony, and
(depending on the culture, the wishes of the betrothed, etc.) might also
include a WeddingReception and perhaps other social events (for one or
both partners and their friends and family) before or after the actual
ceremony.")
(subEventTypes WeddingEvent-Entire WeddingCeremony)
(superEventTypes WeddingCeremony WeddingEvent-Entire)

(isa Eloping AccomplishmentType)
(genls Eloping WeddingEvent-Entire)
(comment Eloping "The collection of marriages performed in secret without
the presence (and often without the permission) of the participants'
parents.")

(isa WeddingReception  FirstOrderCollection)
(genls WeddingReception  WeddingEvent-Generic)
(genls WeddingReception  ReceptionParty)
(genls WeddingReception  HostedSocialGathering)
(superEventTypes WeddingReception WeddingEvent-Entire)
(comment WeddingReception  "The collection of all wedding receptions. A
type of ReceptionParty, WeddingEvent-Generic, and HostedSocialGathering.")
