Definition

A unique, temporally discrete event.

Description

A singular event may be any temporally discrete continuous activity or connected sequence of activities considered as one temporal process (even including a long-term continuous geological process) that has an identifiable beginning and an identifiable (possibly future) end. A singular event differs from a recurring event in that the singular event is a unique occurrence, while a recurring event repeats on a cyclical or seasonal basis. A recurring event has the same essential characteristics each time that it occurs. Examples of singular significant events include: the Boston Marathon bombings (April 15, 2012); the Battle of the Somme (July 1, 1916 to Nov. 18, 1916); World War II (1929-1945); the Yalta Conference (Feb. 4-11, 1945).
