Our primary interest is in events as reported in news or represented in historical narrative, which is quite different from, e.g., a scientific notion of an event as a well-defined process or as part of a causal mechanism. I think there is probably room for several different event ontologies given the fuzziness of the concept and the different modes of understanding (i.e. science vs. history vs. law vs. "everyday" practical understanding). But we believe this one provides a useful balance between simplicity and clarity for the kind of use cases we have in mind.
Some other ontologies which you might be interested in for mapping are BIO [1] and OntoMedia ([2] is a good starting point - this group in general might be interesting for you). Regards, Simon [1] http://vocab.org/bio/0.1/.html [2] http://groups.google.ie/group/digital-narrative/web/useful-links
