[Bug 425258] Re: origin should be a property of events, not items

 

I opened this bug again since after considering extending the event table with one more column "current_uri" I see it as an opportunity to actually create another event_origin column.
The reasoning behind that is that it will allow us to trace origins of events like "which website got me to this website"
This is a small use case but I think its worth it

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.
