+Description
+===============================================================================
+This real-life event log contains events of sepsis cases from a hospital. 
+Sepsis is a life threatening condition typically caused by an infection. One 
+case represents the pathway through the hospital.  The events were recorded
+by the ERP system of the hospital. There are about 1000 cases with in total
+15,000 events that were recorded for 16 different activities. Moreover, 
+39 data attributes are recorded, e.g., the group responsible for the activity,
+the results of tests and information from checklists.  Events and attribute 
+values have been anonymized. The time stamps of events have been randomized, 
+but the time between events within a trace has not been altered.
