Fig. 4. An example of TiAN data

- EvacuationClass, ShopClass, RestaurantClass, TrainStationClass are classes of evac-
uation, shop, restaurant, train station respectively.
- TiAN has five properties: act, what, where, next, and becauseOf, which correspond
to activity attributes, and relations between activities.

To easily link to external resource, TiAN inherits Geo [12], Time line [13], and vCards
[14] ontologies. Geo [12] is used for representing latitude and longitude of a location.
Time line [13] is used for representing time. And, vCards [14] is used for representing
an address of a location.
Based on the above classes, properties, and inherited ontologies, we can describe
data of TiAN. For example, Figure 4 represents the activity in the sentence “The train
has stopped at Akihabara Station at 16:13:00”.
