Entity relationships are created, discovered, and applied in proximity-based scheduling applications. When a signal is received from an entity in proximity to a user of a data processing system, the signal is compared against previously recorded signals. If a signal match is found, the entity generating the signal is identified using the entity definition associated with the previously recorded signal. Entities associated with the entity generating the signal are also identified. A reminder is provided to the user to perform tasks associated with the entity and tasks associated with the others entities while the user is in proximity to the entity. If a signal match is not found, and if the user has performed a task with an unassociated entity, a relationship may be created between the entity associated with the performed task and the unassociated entity, either automatically or upon prompting the user.
