Place

Schema.org definition: Entities that have a somewhat fixed, physical extension.

Subclass Of: http://schema.org/Thing

Types of Places

The following types of places have been designed by the LDFI project led by CAPACOA.

https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Cultural_venues/Typology

Artsdata highly recommends using the Wikidata type URI as schema:additionalType.

Artsdata also takes advantage of the schema:placeContainedIn to create links between rooms/halls and buildings. Also between buildings and encompassing places such as city. This automatically situated event venues in a city, region, province and country. Linking increases the ability for reconciling places when only a name and postal address is available.

Proposed additions

geo property

https://schema.org/geo - The geo coordinates of the place.

This property is favoured over adding explicit longitude and latuitude because the property geo not only can include longitude and latitude in class GeoCoordinates but it can also be defined by the class GeoShape which gives flexibility to define parks and areas that do not have a specific starting address.

This property can satisfy the SHACL validation for Places, removing the absolute requirement of a Place to have a PostalAddress.

longitude The longitude of a location. For example -122.08585 (WGS 84).
from class http://schema.org/Place
sameAs URL of a reference Web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity. E.g. the URL of the item's Wikipedia page, Wikidata entry, or official website.

image An image of the item. This can be a URL or a fully described ImageObject.
from class http://schema.org/Thing
identifier The identifier property represents any kind of identifier for any kind of Thing, such as ISBNs, GTIN codes, UUIDs etc. Schema.org provides dedicated properties for representing many of these, either as textual strings or as URL (URI) links. See background notes for more details.
from class http://schema.org/Thing
additionalType An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally.
from class http://schema.org/Thing
disambiguatingDescription A sub property of description. A short description of the item used to disambiguate from other, similar items. Information from other properties (in particular, name) may be necessary for the description to be useful for disambiguation.
from class http://schema.org/Thing
mainEntityOfPage Indicates a page (or other CreativeWork) for which this thing is the main entity being described. See background notes for details.
from class http://schema.org/Thing
