Can a media file be "assigned" to more than one POI? #46

Closed acorbi closed 7 years ago

acorbi commented 7 years ago

@almereyda while adapting my definition for the mediaendpoint based on the fixtures and comments from your PR on https://github.com/TransforMap/data.transformap.co/pull/45, the question whether a media file can be assigned to multiple POIs came to my mind.

According to the workflow discussed on your PR, in order to upload a new media the user client would first POST to /media and then PUT to /place to assign the media file to an existing POI.

Do we want to allow a certain media file to be "assigned" to several POIs? I tend to think that we should technically allow for this in order to keep the system flexible but that there would possibly not be any use case that justifies this hability.

What do you think?

If the implementation offers no additional complexity, it is definitely the way to go.

I can imagine organisations adding their logo or the likes to multiple places. Therefore, the decoupling of the flat media UUID and place UUID namespaces allows for various use cases as outlined above, and does not involve additional development. Closing, as no open question is to be solved here.
