Hi Robert,

If Google is licensing this data, then it's from a new player in the industry, because there is no-one that offers licensable data like this at the moment (at least publicly).

I'm pretty certain they are aggregating this from markup, and processing it internally. I guess we could disprove this hypothesis by seeing if we can find data from / links to a site that doesn't have proper event markup, but this is difficult for me to do as it's only rolled out in the US.

Cheers,

Dan
