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from home publishes a creative.profile (an area, never an address) and offers through com.cultureblocs.offer; they do not publish a place.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.

    record

    DEPRECATED — do not write new records. Use com.cultureblocs.place.profile with spaceTypes including 'venue': the same publishing-party record, widened to cover rehearsal rooms, studios, suppliers and shops. This schema remains published so existing records stay resolvable; readers map it to place.profile as { spaceTypes: ['venue'], location, capacity, accessibility, links, externalIds, tags }. Original description: a venue or organiser as a publishing party: the small amount a grassroots space n

  • com.cultureblocs.offer

    record

    Something a creative or a place offers, or needs, for a while: a recording engineer available for hire, off-peak rehearsal rates, a studio desk free for three months, 'looking for a drummer'. Separate from the profile because offers come and go. Pause and reopen an offer by changing `status` on the same record rather than deleting and recreating it, so links and history survive. Public by nature: carry links, never private contact details.

  • app.placita.place

    record

    A place saved by a user. The primary entity of Placita: one record per place, stored in the user's own repository.
