Definition

An event occurs when an application notifies the OITF of a significant occurrence. An occurrence is significant if the application’s control flow depends on information about the object or the object is influenced by this event. The event type contains the meta data for such events.

There are two forms of events: explicit and implicit events. An event is explicit when the event type is known to the application prior to runtime. Implicit events are only known and determined at runtime. Unless otherwise noted, we assume the event is explicit.
