Abstract
POWER is an ontology of political processes. It is designed for tracking politicians, political organisations and elections, both in mainstream and social media. In social media, these entities (particularly humans) are frequently named by emergent abbreviations, non-standardized acronyms, nicknames, metaphoric expressions and neologisms. Politicians are also frequently mentioned in texts by their roles in the political scene, which may change rapidly over time. This paper describes how POWER was designed for tracking such complex and dynamic setting, with the purpose of making it a key resource to analytics applications mining the media.
