Representation and processing of information related to real world events

Event based analysis plays an important role in reducing the latency of information delivery in an event driven world. Also, the perception of an ‘event’ by a user is at a higher level (a meta event), and would involve the analysis of several less complex or lower order events (basic events) in order to convey meaningful information. This is especially true of real world events and it is often necessary to completely capture the attributes of events and the relationships between them, so that the process of retrieval of event related information is efficient. In this paper, we discuss a formal system for representing and analyzing real world events to address these issues. The event representation discussed in this paper accounts for three important event attributes, namely, time, space, and label. We introduce the notion of sequence templates that appears natural for capturing event related semantics. It can also help in semantically analyzing user queries. To harness this poten...
