Unexpected use of event and planning items to convey media #170

Closed iyoung closed 3 months ago

iyoung commented 6 months ago

During the recent DPP LPX hackathon where we put the 2.2 draft schema to the test it was noted that teams were inserting documents into the APIs with the type event but including the stream URLs also directly in the document.

As the schema had allowed this they saw this as an easier single document they could use to represent the event (real world) and coverage all in one.

The original intent was that event documents would be used to represent the real world event and would be independent of planned coverage and the news items / actual coverage. These were expected to be associated in order to link them together.

We need to discuss this again and understand if it is essential to break these semantically different pieces of information up how we either enforce this at a schema level or encourage this through documented best practises.

Resolved in https://github.com/iptc/newsinjson/pull/174 where the schema does not allow the event document to carry renditions. @bquinn I'm wondering whether we need to do this for plannedcoverage also if the event itself should not carry planned coverage metadata, but one to discuss further.
