Whilst the icalendar specification may be used to describe just about any activity or event, typically there are some use-cases that are more widely used than others.

Such use-cases may include birthdays and other anniversary-style observances, scheduling activities such as timetables, and historical activities including recording of meeting minutes.

ical4j-templates offers an opinionated view of how such popular activities may be structured, providing a simpler and consistent approach to event management.

Templates should be as specific as possible, and generally avoid free text input (i.e. provide consistent formatting of input data).

Domain-specific templates provide easily understandable structures without concern for underlying data formats.

e.g. Music domain:

• Artist -> VCARD
• Song, Album, Playlist -> VJOURNAL
• Concerts -> VEVENT
• Venues -> LOCATION
• Tickets -> VAVAILABILITY
