A system and method are provided for binding a semantic to an event. The system includes a first network entity capable of transmitting a subscription message including an event package and a semantic description describing a semantic associated with the event package. The system also includes an event server capable of receiving the subscription message. The event server is thereafter capable of generating a semantic package identifier associated with the event package and the semantic description to thereby bind the event package to the semantic description. The event server is further capable of sending a first notify message to the first network entity, where the first notify message includes the semantic package identifier.
