2. What is New in NewsML-G2 2.35

Verson 2.35 contains the following change from 2.34:

2.1. Event Status

The Event Details wrapper already supports a number of status values, including Occur Status, News Coverage Status and Access Status. The addition of a new property <eventStatus> gives implementers a standard way to indicate (for example) "this event is in progress" or "this event happened and is now in the past". This also aligns NewsML-G2 with the property now supported in ninjs 3.0.

This change also includes aligning the Event Details extension point to be consistent with other extension points in NewsML-G2 by setting its processContents attribute (in the NewsML-G2 schema) to "lax".

The recommended vocabulary to be used with Event Status is the IPTC Event Status NewsCodes https://cv.iptc.org/newscodes/eventstatus/ with a recommended alias of "eventstatus" as per the example below:

<!-- The status of an event is "scheduled" -->

<eventDetails> 
  ...
  <eventStatus qcode="eventstatus:scheduled"/>
  ... 
</eventDetails>

Note that the @qcode may be replaced with a @uri attribute.
