4.6.1 Event Component
The following is an example of the "VEVENT" calendar component used to represent a meeting that will also be opaque to searches for busy time:
BEGIN:VEVENT UID:19970901T130000Z-123401@host.com DTSTAMP:19970901T1300Z DTSTART:19970903T163000Z DTEND:19970903T190000Z SUMMARY:Annual Employee Review CLASS:PRIVATE CATEGORIES:BUSINESS,HUMAN RESOURCES END:VEVENT
This iCalendar event as an hCalendar:
<div class="vevent"> <h1 class="summary">Annual Employee Review</h1> <p>posted on <abbr class="dtstamp" title="19970901T1300Z">September 1, 1997</abbr></p> <p class="uid">19970901T130000Z-123401@host.com</p> <p>Dates: <abbr class="dtstart" title="19970903T163000Z">Septempter 3, 1997, 16:30</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="19970903T190000Z">19:00 UTC</abbr></p> <p>This meeting is <span class="class">PRIVATE</span>.</p> <p>Filed under:</p> <ul> <li class="category">BUSINESS</li> <li class="category">HUMAN RESOURCES</li> </ul> </div>
This hCalendar could be displayed as:

Example 2
The following is an example of the "VEVENT" calendar component used to represent a reminder that will not be opaque, but rather transparent, to searches for busy time:
BEGIN:VEVENT UID:19970901T130000Z-123402@host.com DTSTAMP:19970901T1300Z DTSTART:19970401T163000Z DTEND:19970402T010000Z SUMMARY:Laurel is in sensitivity awareness class. CLASS:PUBLIC CATEGORIES:BUSINESS,HUMAN RESOURCES TRANSP:TRANSPARENT END:VEVENT
This iCalendar event as an hCalendar fragment:
<div class="vevent"> <h1 class="summary">Laurel is in sensitivity awareness class.</h1> <p>Posted on: <abbr class="dtstamp" title=19970901T1300Z">September 1, 1997</abbr></p> <p class="uid">19970901T130000Z-123402@host.com</p> <p>Dates: <abbr class="dtstart" title="19970401T163000Z">April 1, 1997, 16:30 UTC</abbr>- <abbr class="dtend" title="19970402T010000Z">April 2, 1997 01:00 UTC</abbr></p> <p>This event is <span class="class">public</span> and <span class="transp">transparent</span> to free/busy scheduling.</p> <p>Filed under:</p> <ul> <li class="category">BUSINESS</li> <li class="category">HUMAN RESOURCES</li> </ul> </div>

Example 3
The following is an example of the "VEVENT" calendar component used to represent an anniversary that will occur annually. Since it takes up no time, it will not appear as opaque in a search for busy time; no matter what the value of the "TRANSP" property indicates:
BEGIN:VEVENT UID:19970901T130000Z-123403@host.com DTSTAMP:19970901T1300Z DTSTART:19971102 SUMMARY:Our Blissful Anniversary CLASS:CONFIDENTIAL CATEGORIES:ANNIVERSARY,PERSONAL,SPECIAL OCCASION RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY END:VEVENT
This iCalendar event as an hCalendar fragment:
<div class="vevent"> <h1 class="summary">Our Blissful Anniversary</h1> <p>Posted on: <span class="dtstamp" title="19970901T1300Z">September 1, 1997</abbr></p> <span class="uid">19970901T130000Z-123403@host.com</span> <p>Date: <abbr class="dtstart" title="19971102">November 2, 1997</abbr></p> <p>This event is <span class="class">confidential</span>.</p> <p>Filed under:</p> <ul> <li class="category">ANNIVERSARY</li> <li class="category">PERSONAL</li> <li class="category">SPECIAL OCCASSION</li> </ul> <p class="rrule">Repeat <span class="freq">yearly</span></p> </div>
ISSUES:
- We have a larger discusion about RRULE that needs to be resolved, hopefully these examples will help that. --RyanKing
