Facet Based Resource Model

Facets

Access Point Facet

The goal of this facet is expected to capture information on “access points” for a resource, i.e. any endpoint to interact with the resource via a known protocol.

entryName	String	An unique identifier
endpoint	URI	The URI which identify the endpoint of a resource
protocol	String	The high-level protocol used by the access point. The String could contains the version if needed. E.g. WMS not http which is already contained in URI.
description	String
authorization	ValueSchema
properties	List<ValueSchema>

Identification Facet

The goal of this facet is to collect information on Identifiers that can be attached to a resource.

value	String	The identifier. E.g. http://fr.dbpedia.org/resource/Thunnus de305d54-75b4-431b-adb2-eb6b9e546014
type	Enumeration	The typology of identifier. E.g. URI, DOI, IRI, URL, URN, UUID;
isPersistent	boolean	To indicate if the Identifier is persistent or not.

Relations

The following relations (extending the relatedTo) have been identified and defined:

• callsFor: Service to Service
• dependsOn: Software to Software
• managedBy: Hosting Node to Site
• manages: Service to Dataset
• poweredBy: Hosting Node to Software
• requires: Software to Service
