Add children property for Events #103

Closed breyten closed 9 years ago

breyten commented 9 years ago

An event can have a parent id, which is useful for specifying relationships between events. it would also be useful to add the inverse of that property (children), to preserve the ordering of parent and child events.

The main use case that I'm looking at right now is that I'm trying to describe a meeting in Popolo with Meeting items, where the order of meeting items is definitely important.

Any thoughts on this? (Is there another ay to do this?)

Sorry, that was an oversight. Area and Organization already had a children property, but I forgot to add one to Event.
