Reserving [agentive]
In this frame, a Booker brings about a situation where an Organization plans to provide Services to a Client at a particular Scheduled_time. The Organization has authority over when Services are provided to whom. The Booker usually has to communicate and negotiate with the Organization to plan the Services for a mutually agreeable Scheduled_time. Usually, there is a Payment as well.
We can book you a boatride on the Somme or a special tour of the Louvre .
Now booking trips to Cancunfor only $50 ! CNI INI
In many cases, the Booker may be the same as the Client or the Organization.
When the Booker is also the Organization providing the service, as in the first sentence below, we annotate Booker on the first layer and Organization on the second. Realizing that the Booker is also the Organization providing the service is an inference, as we can see by comparing the following two examples. In the first, it seems clear that the hotel is providing the service. In the second, it is clear that the hotel is not providing the service.
The hotel gave us a reservation for two nights .
The hotel gave us a reservation for two nights at the adjacent hotel to make up for screwing up our original booking .
In the frequent case where the Booker is the same as the Client, we annotate Booker on the first layer and Client on the second. Client is on the second layer since, in most cases, it is an inference that may be wrong. For example, in the following sentence, the annotation indicates that Patrick is the Client. However, it is also possible that Patrick is reserving a table for a party that doesn't even include himself:
Patrick tried to reserve a table at Dorsia for 7:00 .
Patrick tried to reserve a table at Dorsia for 7:00 .
