Places/FeaturesAndConfigurations

Rooms and other spaces can be tagged according to their available configurations (i.e. layouts) and features available to their occupants. Configurations for a meeting room might be 'theatre' or 'boardroom', whereas a field might have 'football pitch' or 'festival'. Features might include 'projector', 'induction loop', or 'parking space'.

Features may be attached directly to rooms and spaces to imply that they are ordinarily available for all configurations, or to an individual configuration. For example, a 'theatre' configuration may have the feature 'tiered seating', whereas a 'banquet' configuration might not (as the tiered seating is removable).

Configurations

Configurations are related to rooms by three properties: oo:hasSpaceConfiguration, oo:primarySpaceConfiguration, and oo:currentSpaceConfiguration.

Each configuration is an instance of some subclass of oosc:SpaceConfiguration. It should also be annotated with a capacity.

We define the namespace http://purl.org/openorg/space-configuration/ with preferred prefix oosc: to contain a taxonomy of space configurations.

For example:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">

 <rooms:Room rdf:about="http://example.org/id/room/123">
   <rdfs:label>Meeting Room A</rdfs:label>
   <oosc:spaceConfiguration>
     <oosc:Boardroom rdf:about="http://example.org/id/room/123/config/boardroom">
       <oo:capacity rdf:datatype="&xsd;int">14</oo:capacity>
     </oosc:Boardroom>
   </oosc:spaceConfiguration>
   <oosc:spaceConfiguration>
     <oosc:UShape rdf:about="http://example.org/id/room/123/config/ushape">
       <oo:capacity rdf:datatype="&xsd;int">10</oo:capacity>
     </oosc:UShape>
   </oo:hasSpaceConfiguration>
   <oosc:primarySpaceConfiguration rdf:resource="http://example.org/id/room/123/config/boardroom"/>
   <oosc:currentSpaceConfiguration rdf:resource="http://example.org/id/room/123/config/ushape"/>
 </rooms:Room>

Defined configurations

In the spirit of encouraging reuse, it is advisable to use the following URIs for common space configurations. If you have an idea for one not listed here, please add it and mark it 'proposed'.

Category	URI	Description	Additional properties	Status
Meeting spaces	oosc:Boardroom	One table with chairs on all sides		stable
	oosc:UShape	One table with chairs on three sides (usually for presentations)		stable
Dining and large discussion/presentation spaces	oosc:Banquet	Many tables, each surrounded by chairs	oosc:tableCount, oosc:chairsPerTable	unstable
	oosc:Cabaret	Many tables, each with chairs on three sides	oosc:tableCount, oosc:chairsPerTable	unstable
	oosc:Reception	No tables or chairs. Think 'drinks reception'.		stable
Teaching	oosc:Theatre	Chairs arranged in rows oriented in the same direction (like a lecture theatre)		stable
	oosc:Classroom	Chairs arranged in rows behind desks		stable
	oosc:ComputerLaboratory	Teaching space for computer-based practicals		proposed
Accommodation	oosc:StudyBedroom	Standard student accommodation (generally contains a bed and desk)		proposed
	oosc:Bedroom	Accommodation which isn't a StudyBedroom		proposed
	oosc:CommonRoom	Social area, generally including seating		proposed
Infrastructure and miscellaneous	oosc:Kitchen	A space for cooking and/or preparing drinks		proposed
	oosc:Bathroom	Containing some subset of toilets, showers, sinks and baths.		proposed
