Model RecurringBooking ( recurringId, eventId, semesterYear, semesterName, dayOfWeek, startTime, endTime, startDate, endDate, notes)
Description Any event that requires multiple room bookings at the same time of the same day of the week. Note that a class will often require multiple instances of this object: a class that meets MWF 10:00-10:50am will require three, one for the Monday slot, one for Wednesday and one for Friday.
recurringId An arbitrary unique identifier. Primary key. Domain: nonnegative integers.
eventId Identifies the event that has the room booked. Domain: same as Event.eventId; link to the Event entity.
semesterYear If this booking is for an exact semester interval, this field and the semesterName field below are a link to the Semester object defining the interval (and breaks, if any) in which this booking falls. Domain: Same as Semester.year, may be null if this booking is not associated with a named semester.
semesterName See the semesterYear field above. Domain: Same as Semester.name, may be null.
dayOfWeek What day of the week this falls on. Domain: Sunday, Monday, ..., Saturday.
startTime When the room booking starts. Domain: Time of day.
endTime When the room booking ends. Domain: Time of day. Note that there is an important difference between a class that ends at 11:00am and a class that ends at 10:50am. In the former case we can't really schedule another booking at 11:00am because it takes ten minutes to change over.
startDate The first date on which this event meets. If semesterYear and semesterDate are not null, this field should be ignored in favor of the start date in the related Semester. Domain: Date; may be null.
endDate The last date on which this event meets. As with the startDate field, if this booking is related to a Semester, ignore this field and use the semester's end date. Domain: Date; may be null.
notes Any other notes about this booking. Domain: Multiline text.
