ABSTRACT
Everything around us including human life is nothing but the collection of diverse events in the flow of time. Being more specific, events are happenings qualified by spatio-temporal attributes, and are worth remembering. For life events, such happenings may include a delineated change in situation like marital status, scholastic, occupation or any other environmental amendment in time. We can think of this chain of events as one's lifeline. In other words, individual's lifeline is a collection of temporally ordered set of events, which interlinked between themselves resulting an intricate system of events. The system becomes even complex when multiple lifelines interact and influence with each other. In this paper, we have analyzed each type of events from the perspective of temporal relational algebra, extended their notions to redefine, and formalized the different temporal connectivity between set of events with the help of mathematical notion. This paper is the extension version of the River metaphor model for personal event management system in which we have removed the ambiguity of time. This extended model helps us to measure multiple event relationship more accurately and investigate the cause and effects of different events that seems to happen arbitrarily.
