Currently the concept of "event" in "gacto2.str" is represented as "evento", an extension of "pt-acto"
Originally, this was introduced to allow "events" in correspondence to be recorded.
part name=evento; source=pt-acto;
position=description,dia,mes,ano;
guaranteed=description;
also=obs,id;
part=n, referido,referida,informador,defector,representante,
...
part name=carta; source=pt-acto;
position=id,dia,mes,ano,loc;
also=resumo,refere,obs;
part=receptor,emissor,evento,topico,emissor-representante
Latter it was added as a sub-group in other contexts:
part name=lista; source=pt-acto;
guaranteed=id,dia,mes,ano;
position=id,dia,mes,ano;
arbitrary=n,referido,referida,celebrante,evento,colega;
also=obs,loc,tipo,data
part name=adenda; source=pt-acto;
position=id,dia,mes,ano,loc;
also=resumo,refere,obs;
part=evento
When Kleio started to be used for recording prosopographies (where records about people are processed with a varied of events associated) a variant was created pevent as a personal event: an event that was part of the biography of a person.
note doc group pevent Personal event, used inside people groups to register a personal event
note Diferent from event/evento which are top level groups inside lists or sources
part name=pevent; source=evento;
position=description,dia,mes,ano;
guaranteed=description;
also=obs,id;
part=referido,referida,person;
note A certain number of sinonyms for clarity of transcription
part name=viagem; source=pevent;
part name=estadia; source=pevent;
A better approach would be to define a top level group as "event", with name, decription, and date. An event is something that happened at a point or period in time. Events can have attributes and relations, as normal entities.
An act is in fact a specialization of an event, and could be defined as a "formalized description of an event in an historical sources".
Events can appear directly inside sources, acts, lists and people groups.
As with other groups that can appear in different contexts, the deepest match is kept.
