Place

This page describes the Place type.

This type is derived from https://schema.org/Place, 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": "Place"
name	Text	The name of the Place Example "name": "Raynes Park High School"

Required options

While these properties are marked as recommended in the specification, a data publisher must provide as much detail in both address and geo for an event as possible.

Property	Expected Type	Description
address	PostalAddress - or - Text	A structured PostalAddress object for the Place. Ideally the address should be provided using the PostalAddress structured format. Google Reserve requires https://schema.org/PostalAddress and will not accept plain text addresses. Example "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Raynes Park High School, 46A West Barnes Lane", "addressLocality": "New Malden", "addressRegion": "London", "postalCode": "NW5 3DU", "addressCountry": "GB" }
geo	GeoCoordinates	The geo coordinates of the Place. Example "geo": { "latitude": 51.4034423828125, "longitude": -0.2369088977575302, "@type": "GeoCoordinates" }

Recommended properties

Property	Expected Type	Description
@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://id.bookingsystem.example.com/places/12345"
amenityFeature	Array of LocationFeatureSpecification	An array listing the Amenities of the Place. Example "amenityFeature": [ { "name": "Changing Facilities", "value": true, "@type": "ChangingFacilities" }, { "name": "Showers", "value": false, "@type": "Showers" }, { "name": "Lockers", "value": true, "@type": "Lockers" }, { "name": "Towels", "value": false, "@type": "Towels" }, { "name": "Creche", "value": false, "@type": "Creche" }, { "name": "Parking", "value": true, "@type": "Parking" } ]
description	Text	A plain text description of the Place, which must not include HTML or other markup. Example "description": "Raynes Park High School in London"
image	Array of ImageObject	An image or photo that depicts the place, e.g. a photo taken at a previous event. Example "image": [ { "thumbnail": "http://example.com/static/image/speedball_thumbnail.jpg", "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "http://example.com/static/image/speedball_large.jpg" } ]
openingHoursSpecification	Array of OpeningHoursSpecification	The times the Place is open
telephone	Text	The telephone number for the Place Example "telephone": "01253 473934"
url	URL	The website for the Place Example "url": "http://www.rphs.org.uk/"

Beta Extension properties

These properties are defined in the OpenActive Beta Extension.
