Abstract

Life events are valuable encounters that profoundly impact a person’s life. They are generally described as distinct occasions or adaptations that occur at certain moments and potentially impact various facets of a person’s emotional, interpersonal, or physiological well-being. Life events cover a wide variety of changes, including changes in marital status, new additions to families, such as the birth or adoption of a child, the death of a dependent or beneficiary, a promotion or salary increase, milestone birthdays of the dependent child, moving to a new address, etc. For planning one of the most significant events in life, the wedding, planners consider different approaches to cope with the challenge of sharing and reusing wedding planning methods across various applications, enterprises, and community boundaries. These methods include standardization, digital platforms, open-source collaboration, knowledge management systems, documentation, and training. These methods are not in a format that allows them to be shared and reused across applications, enterprise, and community boundaries. This format restricts them from being manually or digitally collected through techniques that could reveal new connections among data points. Therefore, it is necessary to use semantic web technologies to transform these papers into a web of data. The semantic web aims to apply online standards to data and documents to make them machine-readable and interoperable. No ontology can represent the event “Wedding” in detail. So, in this paper, we present an ontology that maps all the events in the wedding related to Pakistani weddings, their properties and relationships with each other, and interactional contextual features. Hence, it can be reused in the future. This ontology can be extended to different cultures all over the world. Moreover, the ontology was justified with the help of use cases from the most recent famous weddings in the country.
