receiving, from the client over the network, second data that identifies one or more display characteristics for the event data, wherein the display characteristics indicate the manner in which the event data is to be displayed;
receiving, from the client over the network, a request for a set of one or more instructions which, when processed, causes the set of event data to be displayed on a graphical user interface in the manner specified by the third data;

Abstract
Techniques for republishing event data are provided. An event data repository contains event records defining real world events. Users request instructions for republishing group event data. The request includes data identifying a set of group event data and display characteristics for republication. In response to the request, event data display code is provided back to the client. The user may use the event data display code to display group event data on the user'"'"'s own web pages or applications. When the event data display code is processed by a web browser application, a request is sent to the events repository, which provides the identified set of group event data in response. The group event data is displayed to users at the web browser using the display characteristics specified by the client.
