trial-use abstract

Something that happens at a specific time or over a bounded period within a delivery system. Event is the shared supertype for records that capture occurrences (assessments, decisions, payments, deliveries, referrals, etc.), as distinct from standing entities like persons, groups, or programs.

Present in all 6 mapped delivery systems.

Event is a PublicSchema abstraction; no mapped system has an explicit event supertype. All six systems model timestamped occurrence records (payments, assessments, decisions, referrals) that correspond to Event subtypes.

Standard Equivalent Match
Core Vocabularies N/A none
SEMIC Core Vocabularies do not define a generic event supertype. Domain-specific events are modeled directly.
DCI Core N/A none
DCI does not define a generic event supertype. Timestamped occurrences are modeled as properties on domain entities.
