This looks similar to CADF [1], which is used by OpenStack, but it looks less structured. In CADF, each event has a target (the thing that is changed or being viewed), an initiator (the user performing that action), and possibly an observer and reporters. I'm not sure if CloudEvents wants to be intentionally minimal, or if it just hasn't developed to the same intricacy as CADF (as the 0.1 version number suggests).

The references contain an OpenStack audit middleware event https://github.com/cloudevents/spec/blob/master/about/references.md https://github.com/cloudevents/spec/blob/master/about/refere... I'm a contributor on the project, and have been working to make sure that the use cases fit both requirements. Can be difficult to maintain both, with naming conventions of the particular entities, but so far it seems to be moving forward, and the working group is collaborative.

  Isn't it weird to have references to some AWS services, but not CloudWatch Events itself? To me that would be the service that makes the most sense as a comparison point.
