FacilityUse

This page describes the FacilityUse type.

Properties

Required properties

Property	Expected Type	Description
@type	Text	Must always be present and set to "@type": "FacilityUse"
@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://api.example.com/facility-uses/12345"
location	Place - or - @id reference	The location at which the facility use will take place. Example "location": { "@type": "Place", "address": { "addressLocality": "New Malden", "addressRegion": "London", "postalCode": "NW5 3DU", "streetAddress": "Raynes Park High School, 46A West Barnes Lane", "@type": "PostalAddress" }, "description": "Raynes Park High School in London", "geo": { "latitude": 51.4034423828125, "longitude": -0.2369088977575302, "@type": "GeoCoordinates" }, "@id": "https://example.com/locations/1234ABCD", "identifier": "1234ABCD", "name": "Raynes Park High School", "telephone": "01253 473934" }
name	Text	The name of the facility use Example "name": "Speedball"
provider	Organization	The organisation responsible for providing the facility Example "provider": { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Central Speedball Association", "url": "http://www.speedball-world.com" }
url	URL	A URL to a web page (or section of a page) that describes the facility use. Example "url": "https://example.com/facility-use/1234"

Required options

Support for the facilityType property has been added to tooling and documentation ahead of inclusion in the next point release of the OpenActive Modelling Opportunity Data specification, as agreed on the W3C call 2021-06-02. On this basis of this discussion, following the next point release, only facilityType will be required.
