Hackathon - CAMEO event code

The CAMEO Manual details a list of event codes as verbs. They all seem somewhat confrontational. How would you code for an article on a technological advance, academic prize (including Nobel), a discovery in medicine or archeology, or COVID? And what does a positive GoldsteinSore mean?

Here is a primer on the Goldstein scale:

A Conflict-Cooperation Scale for WEIS Events Data

Thanks. It was an interesting read although I’d have to look at WEIS to better understand. It is as though the GoldsteinScale is a normalization to bridge between older and new datasets. The GoldsteinScale is not independent of the EventRootCode and neither is the AvgTone
