NAME
SemanticWeb::Schema::SpecialAnnouncement - A SpecialAnnouncement combines a simple date-stamped textual information update with contextualized Web links and other structured data
VERSION
version v7.0.4
DESCRIPTION
A SpecialAnnouncement combines a simple date-stamped textual information
update with contextualized Web links and other structured data. It
represents an information update made by a locally-oriented organization,
for example schools, pharmacies, healthcare providers, community groups,
police, local government.
For work in progress guidelines on
Coronavirus-related markup see this doc.
The motivating scenario for
SpecialAnnouncement is the C
oronavirus pandemic, and the initial vocabulary is oriented to this
urgent situation. Schema.org expect to improve the markup iteratively as it
is deployed and as feedback emerges from use. In addition to our usual Github entry,
feedback comments can also be provided in this document.
While this schema is
designed to communicate urgent crisis-related information, it is not the
same as an emergency warning technology like CAP,
although there may be overlaps. The intent is to cover the kinds of
everyday practical information being posted to existing websites during an
emergency situation.
Several kinds of information can be
provided:
We encourage the provision of "name", "text",
"datePosted", "expires" (if appropriate), "category" and "url" as a simple
baseline. It is important to provide a value for "category" where possible,
most ideally as a well known URL from Wikipedia or Wikidata. In the case of
the 2019-2020 Coronavirus pandemic, this should be
"https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2019-20_coronavirus_pandemic"
or "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q81068910".
For many of the
possible properties, values can either be simple links or an inline
description, depending on whether a summary is available. For a link,
provide just the URL of the appropriate page as the property's value. For
an inline description, use a WebContent type, and provide the
url as a property of that, alongside at least a simple "text" summary of the
page. It is unlikely that a single SpecialAnnouncement will need all of the
possible properties simultaneously.
We expect that in many cases
the page referenced might contain more specialized structured data, e.g.
contact info, openingHours, Event, FAQPage etc. By
linking to those pages from a SpecialAnnouncement you
can help make it clearer that the events are related to the situation (e.g.
Coronavirus) indicated by the category property of the SpecialAnnouncement.
<
br/> Many SpecialAnnouncements will
relate to particular regions and to identifiable local organizations. Use
spatialCoverage for the
region, and announcementLocation to
indicate specific LocalBusinesses and CivicStructures. If the
announcement affects both a particular region and a specific location (for
example, a library closure that serves an entire region), use both spatialCoverage and announcementLocation.
The about
property can be used to indicate entities that are the focus of the
announcement. We now recommend using about only for representing non-location
entities (e.g. a Course or a RadioStation). For places, use announcementLocation and
spatialCoverage. Consumers of
this markup should be aware that the initial design encouraged the use of
/about for locations too.
The basic content of SpecialAnnouncement is
similar to that of an RSS
or Atom
feed. For publishers without such feeds, basic feed-like information can be
shared by posting SpecialAnnouncement
updates in a page, e.g. using JSON-LD. For sites with Atom/RSS
functionality, you can point to a feed with the webFeed property. This can be a simple
URL, or an inline DataFeed object, with encodingFormat providing media
type information e.g. "application/rss+xml" or "application/atom+xml".
ATTRIBUTES
announcement_location
announcementLocation
Indicates a specific CivicStructure or LocalBusiness associated with the SpecialAnnouncement. For example, a specific testing facility or business with special opening hours. For a larger geographic region like a quarantine of an entire region, use spatialCoverage.
A announcement_location should be one of the following types:
_has_announcement_location
A predicate for the "announcement_location" attribute.
category
A category for the item. Greater signs or slashes can be used to informally indicate a category hierarchy.
A category should be one of the following types:
InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::PhysicalActivityCategory']InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::Thing']Str
_has_category
A predicate for the "category" attribute.
date_posted
datePosted
Publication date of an online listing.
A date_posted should be one of the following types:
Str
_has_date_posted
A predicate for the "date_posted" attribute.
disease_prevention_info
diseasePreventionInfo
Information about disease prevention.
A disease_prevention_info should be one of the following types:
_has_disease_prevention_info
A predicate for the "disease_prevention_info" attribute.
disease_spread_statistics
diseaseSpreadStatistics
Statistical information about the spread of a disease, either as WebContent, or described directly as a Dataset, or the specific Observations in the dataset. When a WebContent URL is provided, the page indicated might also contain more such markup.
A disease_spread_statistics should be one of the following types:
InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::Dataset']InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::Observation']InstanceOf['SemanticWeb::Schema::WebContent']Str
_has_disease_spread_statistics
A predicate for the "disease_spread_statistics" attribute.
getting_tested_info
gettingTestedInfo
Information about getting tested (for a MedicalCondition), e.g. in the context of a pandemic.
A getting_tested_info should be one of the following types:
_has_getting_tested_info
A predicate for the "getting_tested_info" attribute.
government_benefits_info
governmentBenefitsInfo
governmentBenefitsInfo provides information about government benefits associated with a SpecialAnnouncement.
A government_benefits_info should be one of the following types:
_has_government_benefits_info
A predicate for the "government_benefits_info" attribute.
news_updates_and_guidelines
newsUpdatesAndGuidelines
Indicates a page with news updates and guidelines. This could often be (but is not required to be) the main page containing SpecialAnnouncement markup on a site.
A news_updates_and_guidelines should be one of the following types:
_has_news_updates_and_guidelines
A predicate for the "news_updates_and_guidelines" attribute.
public_transport_closures_info
publicTransportClosuresInfo
