The event class (and therefore the business and life event classes) have a property of type. We need to either identify or define:
- a single controlled vocabulary for life events;
- a core set of life events that can be extended
- advice on choosing/defing such a list.
The Italian work defines 4 possible values: Closing, Doing, Starting, Starting Cross Border

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:
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...).
