Hi James, thanks a lot for that effort and for the suggestions! OParlOrganization and OParlCommittee are being discussed again since a few days (German only at the moment, English comments welcome): https://github.com/OParl/specs/issues/96 (I also think that "OParl" in the end will be removed from those class names. oparl:Organization is better than oparl:OParlOrganization) Cheers, Andreas --- James McKinney: > Hi Andreas, > > I added OParl's terms to this survey of terms used by different > specifications: http://popoloproject.com/appendices/terms.html > > For future reference, here are the locations of example OParl JSON > documents within the specification at http://oparl.org/spezifikation/: > > 5.2.12 OParlSystem: an API implementing OParl > 5.3.12 OParlBody: an organization like a government > 5.4.3 OParlCommittee: a committee > 5.5.3 OParlPerson: a person > 5.6.3 OParlOrganization: an organization like a party > 5.7.3 OParlMeeting: a meeting > 5.8.3 OParlAgendaitem: an agenda item > 5.9.3 OParlPaper: a printed paper > 5.10.2 OParlDocument: a digital document > 5.12.2 OParlLocation: a geographic loation (point, path or polygon) > > From my reading, OParlOrganization, OParlBody, OParlPerson can probably > benefit from the research that went into Popolo's Organization [1] and > Person [2] classes.
