Places feed

Proposer

W3C call on 16 February 2022, and subsequently OpenPlay

Use Case

A separate feed for Places would significantly reduce the volume of data in the other feeds, and also ensure that Places that do not have any upcoming sessions or slots are still available to data users.

Proposal

Model changes required to facilitate this are as follows:

• The enabling the location property to be an @id reference to another feed
• Inclusion of serviceOperator property on the Place type to reference the Seller - as the Place may not necessarily have any sessions or slots associated with it, so this data may not be included elsewhere.

Additional documentation updates are required to make the guidance clear around the use of these feeds..

serviceOperator has been added to beta to aid implementations:

(Class) Property	Expected Type	Description
(schema:Place) beta:serviceOperator	schema:Organization	#307	The organization responsible for the operation of the Place.

Updates to the model and validator have been made to support the above, given consensus on the W3C call on 16 February 2022.

Additionally, note that an example is available for guidance within the validator.
