VisE-O: Visual Event Ontology

Based on a set of real-world events from EventKG, the Visual Event Ontology (VisE-O) contains 409 nodes describing 148 unique event types such as different kinds of sports, disasters, and social events with high news potential that can be created with little supervision. It covers the largest number of event types for image classification to date.
