> Note that events should be regarded as sub types of items
Not with the new design, now we will have a clear differentiation between what is an event and what is an item.

> This means that events do in fact have origins.
Indeed, and each event can have a different origin, so my point is that the origin should be stored in the "event" table and not in "item".

However Seif has recently proposed that we drop "origin" entirely.

origin should be a property of events, not items

Bug description:
Both http://live.gnome.org/GnomeZeitgeist/DatabaseDesign and our current implementation have "origin" as a property of items, but this makes no sense, as the origin can be different for every event and should as such be a property of it. (Further, to improve disk space usage we should save the actual value of it in the "uri" table).

I'm filling this bug so that we don't remember to fix it, but please let's ignore it until we get the basic event/item separation stuff merged - most important stuff first.
