Abstract

The Semantic Web carries the promise that we can use Semantic Technologies to analyze networks of people, companies and events in time and space. Many enterprise databases contain information about people, companies, and relationships between people and companies, places and events. Some common elements we see in all event databases is that an event always has a type, possibly some subtypes, one or more actors, a start time and possibly an end time, and a location specified symbolically as a place name, address, or using longitudes and latitudes.
