Storage and structure of events with intentional-based time for calendar applications

A calendaring system comprising:

• a processing system;
• a storage system;
• structured calendar data stored on a storage resource of the storage system, the structured calendar data comprising, for each event, at least a corresponding event identifier, a calendar identifier indicating a corresponding calendar to which the event belongs, and a corresponding intent-time identifier;
• instructions for supporting a calendar application stored on the storage system, the instructions directing the processing system to at least:
• receive a request, from a source, for an intent of an event stored as part of a calendar, the request comprising at least an event identifier for the event;
• search a storage resource storing the event for at least an intent-time identifier associated with the event;
• identify the intent from the intent-time identifier;
• and
• provide the intent identified from the intent-time identifier to the source of the request.

One or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:

• provide a set of available intent-time options;
• receive an input indicative of an event for a calendar item;
• determine an appropriate intent-time from the set of available intent-time options;
• identify from the input any parameters suitable for the appropriate intent-time;
• store the event, in a storage resource, with a start property according to the appropriate intent-time and any of the parameters identified from the input;
• and
• in response to receiving a request, from a source, for an intent of the stored event, the request comprising at least an event identifier for the stored event:
• search the storage resource for at least an intent-time identifier associated with the event;
• identify the intent from the intent-time identifier;
• and
• provide the intent identified from the intent-time identifier to the source of the request.
