Has anyone tried to extend DC so that it could operate as an effective data
schema for systems wanting to share event descriptions? Also, does the DC
event resource type encompass projects?
Apart from DC itself and the experimental ROADS Event template [1], has
anyone developed a data schema specifically for describing events such as
meetings, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, projects? I have looked at the
IETF icalendar specification [2] but it does not seem to have a clearly
defined separate event object in its data model.
