# com.cultureblocs.place.profile

> A cultural place as a publishing party: a venue, gallery, rehearsal room, recording studio, artist studio, makerspace, supplier or shop — anywhere the public can visit or book. Supersedes com.cultureblocs.venue.profile, which covered only venues; a venue is now a place whose spaceTypes include 'venue'. This record is for spaces open to the public or bookable by them. A person working from home publishes a creative.profile (an area, never an address) and offers through com.cultureblocs.offer; they do not publish a place. Nothing about a visitor is ever collected here.

  - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 1000
- `area` (ref): The named area the place sits in (town, borough), normally derived from the postcode by the publishing app. Lets readers filter by area without geocoding.
  - Reference: `com.cultureblocs.defs#areaRef`
- `capacity` (integer): Approximate standing/seated capacity, where it applies. Small venues are repeatedly asked for this by funders and licensing.
  - Constraints: minimum: 0
- `createdAt` (string · datetime, required): When this record was first stamped. The only immutable field: everything else may be revised by publishing a new commit.
- `description` (string)
  - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 2000
- `externalIds` (array): Wikidata, MusicBrainz place, charity or company number.
  - Constraints: maxLength: 20
  - `items` (ref)
    - Reference: `com.cultureblocs.defs#externalId`
- `hours` (string): Freeform opening or booking hours, e.g. 'Tue–Sat 10–6', '24-hour self-service'.
  - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 500
- `images` (array): Photos of the place. The first is used on directory cards.
  - Constraints: maxLength: 4
  - `items` (ref)
    - Reference: `com.cultureblocs.defs#imageRef`
- `links` (array): Website, booking page, socials, ticketing.
  - Constraints: maxLength: 8
  - `items` (ref)
    - Reference: `com.cultureblocs.defs#linkRef`
- `location` (union): Where the place is, using the shared location objects of the open social web. Places are public, so precision is normally exact. Omit for online_only places.
  - One of: `community.lexicon.location.address`, `community.lexicon.location.geo`, `community.lexicon.location.fsq`, `community.lexicon.location.hthree`
- `name` (string, required)
  - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 300
- `publicAccess` (string): How the public reaches this place. 'online_only' places (a supplier with no shop) publish serviceArea and no location.
  - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 32, knownValues: walk_in | by_appointment | bookable | online_only
- `serviceArea` (array): Areas the place serves beyond its own doors: delivery, mobile services, 'UK-wide'. The main location field for online_only places.
  - Constraints: maxLength: 8
  - `items` (ref)
    - Reference: `com.cultureblocs.defs#areaRef`

  - Constraints: minLength: 1, maxLength: 8
  - `items` (string)
    - Constraints: maxGraphemes: 64, knownValues: venue | gallery | museum | cinema | theatre | rehearsal_room | recording_studio | artist_studio | makerspace | workshop | coworking | supplier | shop | library | community_space
