Documentation - Event Structure

The Identi Engine event structure is based on the microformat hCalendar. There are a number of additional non hCalendar properties that hold meta information about origin and content type.

Example event

Below is an example of an object/property structure for an individual event store in the ident.events collection.

   summary: "Full Frontal JavaScript Conference",

   dtstamp: "20090305,
   url: "http:\/\/upcoming.yahoo.com\/event\/2464972\/",

   name: "Upcoming",
   domain: "upcoming.yahoo.com",
   sourceUrl: ["http:\/\/upcoming.yahoo.com\/event\/2464972/"]
