对于知识表示和推理，需要考虑事件的性质，因为事件数据描述了真实的世界中动作和变化发生的各种特征和行为。在本文中，我们建议建立一个上层事件本体的顺序排序逻辑作为基础设施的事件知识库。我们的事件本体包含事件实体的分类（例如，自然事件和人工事件）和事件关系（例如，因果关系和下一事件关系）。这些本体论的特征是必要的理论基础的应用程序，如事件数据库的实施，事件关系的检测，和事件数据的注释。
For knowledge representation and reasoning, there is a need to consider the nature of events because event data describe various features and behaviors of the occurrences of actions and changes in the real world. In this paper, we propose to establish an upper event-ontology in order-sorted logic as an infrastructure for event knowledge bases. Our event ontology contains a classification of event entities (e.g., natural events and artificial events) and event relationships (e.g., causal relations and next-event relations). These ontological characterizations are needed for a theoretical basis of applications such as implementation of event databases, detection of event relationships, and annotation of event data.
