Remove selected user identifiers to include in an event message based on a context of an event

A system for scheduling a calendar event for users, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer readable storage medium having program code executed by the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• processing a message, sent by an event initiator for an event to schedule, to determine whether the message includes expressions and variations of expressions included in an ontology of expressions for a meeting;
• in response to determining that the message comprises an event message including expressions included in the ontology of expressions for a meeting, scanning the message for keywords comprising references to invitees;
• determining multiple user identifiers in a user database for the invitees identified in the message;
• determining a context of the event to schedule by processing terms and phrases in the message sent to schedule the event;
• determining context of messages sent by the multiple user identifiers to the event initiator, wherein the context of the messages sent by the multiple user identifiers is determined by searching for keywords in the messages sent by the multiple user identifiers indicative of a context category;
• sending a message to reschedule to at least one of the event initiator and at least one of the multiple user identifiers having a scheduling conflict with the event to schedule based on a comparison of hierarchical rankings of the event initiator and the at least one of the multiple user identifiers having the scheduling conflict;
• producing a modified group of user identifiers comprising at least one of the multiple user identifiers that sent one of the messages to the event initiator having a message context matching the determined context of the event to schedule, wherein the modified group of user identifiers do not include user identifiers of users having a higher hierarchical ranking than the event initiator that indicated to opt out of the event to schedule in response to receiving the message to reschedule;
• and
• generating an event message to transmit to addresses for the modified group of user identifiers with information on the event to schedule.
