• An object may be associated with many events

Sequence Blocks• Events can be organized into blocks
of instruction, called Sequence Blocks (think course/module/year/phase/clerkship etc)
• An recurring event may be associated with more than one Sequence Block
• Sequence blocks may be associated with objects (competencies, milestones, objectives)
• Sequence blocks have metadata, too

Sequence Block Nesting
• Sequence blocks can be nested: a module or clerkship might be in a year which is within a phase and so on …
• ? Blocks will inherit any relations to competency objects from their sub-blocks
• ? No restriction on the number of nest levels

Integration Blocks
• Curricular themes, or Integration Blocks, may apply to many sequence blocks, events, or objectives/ competencies and describe how the curriculum is semantically integrated.
• An event or block may link to many Integration Blocks and an Integration Block may link to many events, blocks or objects
