Civic Issue Tracking data models

This repository is now archived and subsequent works will be carried out the in Smart data models repositories.

These data models allow to perform civic issue tracking. They have been designed with a view to enabling trivial interoperability between FIWARE NGSI version 2 and Open311. As a result, property names have not been normalized to the camelCasesyntax, they remain as currently specified by Open311. That is the rationale behind naming entity types with Open311 as prefix. However, a few properties are added, so that FIWARE NGSI version 2 implementations can properly store and serve Open 311 data.

FIWARE and OASC, in the medium term, might propose to the Open311 Community a harmonized data model aligned with the rest of FIWARE data models and schema.org. In fact, using these data models and a FIWARE NGSI version 2 implementation it is trivial to implement the APIs proposed by Open311. Another option would be the use of JSON-LD to define equivalencies and mappings between a FIWARE / Schema.org data model and Open 311.

The FIWARE NGSI civic issue tracking data model defines the following entity types:

• Open311:ServiceType. A type of service a citizen can request. It encompasses data from the Open 311 GET Service List and GET Service Definition.
• Open311:ServiceRequest. A specific service request (of a service type) made by a citizen.
