An <eventList> contains <event> elements that capture a brief description of the associated event, including dates and locations where the event took place. An <eventList> describes events associated with a work when it appears in the <workList> element or events associated with the custodial history of a given copy of a source for the encoding when it appears within the <sourceDesc> or <relatedItem> elements. The @type attribute may be used to distinguish between event lists with different functions, such as a list of events in the compositional process and a list of performance dates.
