Controlled Vocabularies for Life Events Type

Perhaps also include "Closing Cross Border" ? Might not be that useful, but seems reasonable as counterpart of "Starting Cross Border" 

I think we should find a balance between proposals 2 and 3. Start by defining/choosing one controlled vocabulary that can be extended regionally and advice to use those extensions if possible.

It should be possible for a region/country to define new life events (for the organisation of public services is after all mainly a regional matter, though I'm confident there is a very great common ground).

With regards to the content of such a 'NAL', DG MARKT (EC) has already developed an ontology that describes the domain of Citizens’ Life Cycle Events. That would be a good start. See https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/rdf_entity/http_e_f_fdata_ceuropa_ceu_fw21_f781e5d11_b90c6_b4df5_b9db2_b094b9104d97a. Please re-use (and if possible do that with the resources within Europe).

A few more interesting things in addition:

• in Greece, they've done some interesting work in modelling life events with regards to public servcies : https://www.actiac.org/sites/default/files/Ontology%20for%20modeling%20Life%20Events.pdf
• in https://www.actiac.org/sites/default/files/Life%20Events%20-%20Connecting%20Citizens%20to%20Services_112414.pdf, more research is done in how coping with life events (places, time, etc...)

For Austria, we've agreed upon a comparatively detailed approach on a common controlled vocabulary for life situations - it can be found at https://www.ref.gv.at/fileadmin/_migrated/content_uploads/ls_1-3-0_20080903_04.pdf (available in German only...).
