This document describes an ontology to model academic events such as conferences. The ontology was derived from the metadata format used by the dbworld mailing list. We tried to keep the ontology small and simple. If you have feedback you can use our wiki page.
The namespace for the CfP ontology is http://sw.deri.org/2005/08/conf/cfp.owl#.
A Talk is subevent of PosterSession or DemoSession or Track or Workshop or Conference. A PosterSession or DemoSession or Track or Workshop is subevent of a Conference. subevent is a partOf relation.
