This PR is a follow up to the OTEP [Events and Logs API](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps/blob/main/text/0202-events-and-logs-api.md). It describes the specification for an Events and Logs API and also defines semantic conventions for attributes to be used for Events that are represented using Log Records. For non-trivial changes, follow the [change proposal process](../CONTRIBUTING.md#proposing-a-change) and link to the related issue(s) and/or [OTEP(s)](https://github.com/open-telemetry/oteps), update the [`CHANGELOG.md`](../CHANGELOG.md), and also be sure to update [`spec-compliance-matrix.md`](../spec-compliance-matrix.md) if necessary.

Log Attribute Semantic Conventions
Status: Experimental
The following semantic conventions for logs are defined:
- Log Media: Semantic attributes that may be used in describing the source of a log.
The following semantic conventions for events are defined:
- Events: Semantic attributes that must be used to represent Events using log data model.
Apart from semantic conventions for logs, traces, and metrics, OpenTelemetry also defines the concept of overarching Resources with their own Resource Semantic Conventions.
