What is a business event?

A business event is a trigger for a state transition within a business process. It could be a simple or composite event. Simple events usually are found in low level business processes while composite events (that can easily described using a pattern expression, even cql) are found at the higher layers (BAM/BI). I see the relationship between simple events and business events is many to many.

If the example events are parsed (treebank) and a syntax tree is generated, the output can be represented as RDF/OWL triples after a simple summarization/annotation. Business events can then be extracted by applying pattern expressions on the underlying graph structure. However, excepting event 10, all can be represented as a simple RDF triple. So... unless this can trigger directly a business process, I would not consider the events as business events but as a set of raw events.
