How to specify the "address" of a channel? #66

Closed jimjyang closed 1 year ago

jimjyang commented 2 years ago

How to specify the e-mail address when the channel type is e-mail, the homepage/URL when the channel type is homepage, etc.?

The properties that are in the Channel Class do not seem to serve this purpose as far as we understand them. The example in 5.5. doesn't seem to cover this aspect either.

In CPSV-AP 3.0, the following changes have been made in the Channel class:

The Europass controlled vocabulary is recommended in the usage notes of Channel:type
The property 'description' is added to the Channel class to allow the user to define how to use the channel.

Sorry that we didn't catch this one when it came up for closing.

We do not agree.

dct:description is for free text description such that the content (e.g., email address, URL, ...) is not machine-readable/-processible (clickable).

Reusers of CPSV-AP can extend the Channel class by adding new properties (email, homepage etc.) or even creating subclasses.

To decide which properties could be added to Channel class, the working group should be involved during a future webinar.

Additionally, the Channel class should not be confused with the ContactPoint, as the Channel class is the medium through which the Public Services is provided or used.

We stumbled on the same issue when trying to implement CPSV. Looking forward to your suggestions.

During the webinar on the review of CPSV-AP on the 7th of November, it was agreed to:

Leave the model as is.
Extend/revise usage notes.
Investigate vCard usage and add it to the usage note.

The usage note of Channel.type was updated
