Connection Calendaring Terminology

What do we mean by “event”, “meeting”, and “appointment”?

An event is any scheduled activity fetched from either Exchange or MeetingPlace.

A meeting is a kind of event which involves a MeetingPlace meeting.

An appointment is a kind of event which does not involve a MeetingPlace meeting.

So…

An event fetched from MeetingPlace is a meeting.

An event fetched from Exchange is an appointment.
