\subsection{Definition of a HE event in the VO}
\label{sec:event-bundlle-or-list}

The IVOA standards incude the concept of event-list, for example in ObsCore v1.1 \citep{2017ivoa.spec.0509L}, where event is a dataproduct\_type with the following definition:

There are two options to provide an access to a full event-list package.
There are two options to provide an access to a full event-bundle package.

First, the event-list dataset itself can contain all the relevant information, e.g. several frames in FITS file, one corresponding to the event-list itself, and the other providing good/stable time intervals, or any IRF file. This is what was done in the current GADF data format (see \ref{sec:GADF}).
In the first option, the "event-bundle" dataset (\ref{sec:event-bundlle-or-list}) exposed in the discovery service contains all the relevant information, e.g. several frames in the FITS file, one corresponding to the event-list itself, and the others providing good/stable time intervals, or any IRF file. This is what was done in the current GADF data format (see \ref{sec:GADF}). In this option, the content of the event-list package should be properly defined in its description: what information is included and where is it in the dataset structure? Obviously the Event-list Context Data Model (see \ref{sec:EventListContext}) would be useful to provide that.

The second option is to provide links to the relevant information from the base event-list dataset. This could be done using Datalink and a list of link to each contextual information such as the IRFs. The Event-list Context Data Model (see \ref{sec:EventListContext}) would provide the concepts and vocabulary to characterise the IRFs and other information relevant to the analysis of an event-list.

The Event-list Context Data Model (see \ref{sec:EventListContext}) would provide the concepts and vocabulary to characterise the IRFs and other information relevant to the analysis of an event-list. These specific concepts and terms describing the various flavors of IRFs and GTI will be given in the semantics and content\_qualifier FIELDS of the DataLink response to qualify the links. The different links can point to different
dereferencable URLs or alternbatively to different fragments of the same drefereencable URL as stated by the DataLink specification.
