Name:	Nary Participation
Submitted by:	AldoGangemi
Also Known As:
Intent:	To represent events with their participants, time, space, etc.
Domains:	General
Competency Questions:	What are the participants in that event at this time? What events had what participants in that location?
Solution description:
Reusable OWL Building Block:	http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.org/cp/owl/naryparticipation.owl (934)
Consequences:	All sorts of relations denoting events with multiple participants, space-time indexing, etc. can be represented with this pattern. When objects participate at the event at different times or with different parts, more elementary nary-participation instances must be created, and made parts of the main one.
Scenarios:	The match lasted 95 minutes, and the winner used a new nano-carbon racquet.
