Abstract

This paper claims that (a) electronic commerce couldmake good use of messages that have semantic complexity considerablely richer than that supported by existingEDI protocols; (b) understanding the logical structureof these semantically complex messages will be materially useful; and (c) the outline of that logical structurehas begun to emerge with improved clarity. The focus ofthe paper is on point (c). The underlying event theoryof the semantics of verb phrase modification, which theory has recently appeared in the literature, is especiallypromising as part of the basis for a formal language forelectronic commerce. Not only does this theory supplynew and useful representation techniques, but it fits wellwith prior work on the representation of speech acts.
