Office Model - DDMAL/CantusDB GitHub Wiki

Office (code) is a model in the main_app app. It inherits from BaseModel.

Offices are associated with individual chants. Office objects represent liturgical events that occur at set times during the day; any particular chant is sung on a specific day of the year at a specific office on that day. For more information on liturgical offices, refer to the Wikipedia article on canonical hours.
