Duration

Events are categorized into four types:

1. instantaneous: an event having only the start time.
2. continuing: an event having the start and end time.
3. multi-day: an event having a start and end time and lasting for two days or more.
4. ongoing: an event having the start time without the end time.

Schema explains how events are classified depending on the End Time field.

Events with different start and end times pulled from a static data source.
