BookingService

Use Case

Allow booking systems to include details about themselves in feeds, to provide additional brand exposure and information for data consumers.

Why is this not covered by existing properties?

The organizer property is for the organiser of the event rather than the system providing the booking service.

Proposal

Define a new type BookingService which subclasses WebAPI, and a new property bookingService on Event to reference it.

Note organisations can and do use more than one BookingService, so the BookingService must be specified per Event.
