[Data-modeling] Astronomy: Discovery Properties

[Gordon Mackenzie]

No I haven't really considered it as an event.

Would it be valuable?

One thing I understand is that there can be multiple discoverer's for  
asteroid's & comets over a period of time (usually within days of each  
other).

I have no knowledge on event modeling though. Do you have an existing  
example or a model in mind?
