Data Model Examples

From Points of Interest

POI data model serialised as JSON, XML, HTML5 & KML - example01

See the original draft here and a new "work in progress" draft example02 here.

Here is a very rough first attempt at mapping the examples developed in the Boulder 2011 face-to-face meeting into serialised json, xml, html5 and kml. The html5 examples also show how we have both the option of using an external link in the head with rel=alternate or embedding it within the dom using microdata (as opposed to using a namespace).

Please send all comments and feedback to the thread on the W3C POI Working Group public discussion list. 

In many places things can have alternate versions e.g.
- href/link
  link rel types that seem relevant:
    pois: canonical, self, alternate, related, tag, author, copyright/license, current/latest-version, describedby, payment, version-history
    poi: canonical, self, alternate, related, tag, author, copyright/license, current/latest-version, describedby, enclosure/up, payment, prefetch, version-history
- crs
- point/geo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First - here's a very high level json overview of all the key patterns:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  NOTES:
  "" means a string representation of a thing (e.g. an href)
  { } means a complex representation of a thing (e.g. a multi-attribute structured data definition of a link)
  Where you see a <- this hints at where this was shamelessly stolen from 8)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{
  href:"" or { rel:"", href:"" } or links:[{ rel:"", href:"" },...], <- a href or link rel or atom:link
  description:"", <- dc.description or atom:summary
  rights:"", <- link rel=copyright|license dc.rights or atom:rights
  language:"", <- dc.language or xml:lang
  author:"", <- link rel=author or atom:author or dc.creator
    or {
         name:"", <- atom:name
         email:"", <- atom:email
         uri:"" <- atom:uri
       }
  date:"", <- http-header.date
  published:"", <- atom:published
  updated:"", <- atom:updated or http-header.last-modified
  pois:[
    {
      id:"", <- atom:id or dc.identifier !! NOTE: Atom requires an IRI not just a relative id
      href:"" or { rel:"", href:"" } or links:[{ rel:"", href:"" },...], <- a href or link rel or atom:link
      title:"", <- dc.title or atom:title
      description:"", <- dc.description or atom:summary
      rights:"", <- link rel=copyright|license dc.rights or atom:rights
      language:"", <- dc.language or xml:lang
      author <- link rel=author or atom:author or dc.creator
        or {
             name:"", <- atom:name
             email:"", <- atom:email
             uri:"" <- atom:uri
           }
      date:"", <- http-header.date 
      published:"", <- atom:published
      updated:"", <- atom:updated or http-header.last-modified
      location:{ <- georss/geojson + geo:
        href:"" or { rel:"", href:"" } or links:[{ rel:"", href:"" },...], <- a href or link rel or atom:link
        point:{ <- kml/georss/geojson
          href:"" or { rel:"", href:"" } or links:[{ rel:"", href:"" },...], <- a href or link rel or atom:link
          crs:"", <- geojson.crs or georss.srsName
          lat:"", lon:"", alt:"" or coordinates:[],
        } or "geo:37.786971,-122.399677;u=35;crs=wgs84",
        polygon:{ <- kml/georss/geojson
          href:"" or { rel:"", href:"" } or links:[{ rel:"", href:"" },...], <- a href or link rel or atom:link
          ...
        }
      }
    },
    ...
  ]
}

And below is one simple example expressed as json, xml, html5 linked, html5 embedded and kml.
