DataCatalog

This page describes the DataCatalog type.

EARLY RELEASE NOTICE

This class represents a draft that is designed to inform the OpenActive specification work with implementation feedback. It is mostly stable, as it based entirely on schema.org. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL SUBJECT TO CHANGE, as the Dataset API Discovery specification evolves.

This type is derived from https://schema.org/DataCatalog, which means that any of this type's properties within schema.org may also be used. Note however the properties on this page must be used in preference if a relevant property is available.

Properties

Required properties

Property	Expected Type	Description
@type	Text	Must always be present and set to "@type": "DataCatalog"
@id	URL	A unique URI-based identifier for the record. @id properties are used as identifiers for compatibility with JSON-LD. The value of such a property must always be an absolute URI that provides a stable globally unique identifier for the resource, as described in RFC3986. The primary purpose of the URI format in this context is to provide natural namespacing for the identifier. Hence, the URI itself may not resolve to a valid endpoint, but must use a domain name controlled by the resource owner (the organisation responsible for the OpenActive open data feed). Example "@id": "https://opendata.leisurecloud.live/api/datacatalog"
license	URL	Must always be present and set to "license": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"
name	Text	The name of the DataCatalog Example "name": "Acme Leisure Sessions and Facilities"
publisher	Organization	The organization ultimately responsible for maintaining this DataCatalog. Example "publisher": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Central Speedball Association", "url": "http://www.speedball-world.com" }

Required options

The DataCatalog must include either hasPart if it is a collection of smaller DataCatalogs, or dataset if it is a collection of dataset sites.

Property	Expected Type	Description
hasPart	Array of URL	The URLs of each smaller DataCatalog within this DataCatalog collection. Example "hasPart": [ "https://opendata.leisurecloud.live/api/datacatalog", "https://openactivedatacatalog.legendonlineservices.co.uk/api/DataCatalog" ]
dataset	Array of URL	The URLs of the dataset sites within this DataCatalog. Example "dataset": [ "https://opendata.exercise-anywhere.com/", "https://www.participant.co.uk/participant/openactive/" ]
