com.cultureblocs.venue.profile

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 needs to be findable and pointable-at. Publishing this does not make the venue an audience-data platform — audiences publish their own beads referencing the venue's listings, and the venue reads public references. Nothing about an attendee is ever collected here. Events at this venue are published as community.lexicon.calendar.event records; this profile carries what a venue needs that an event does not — capacity and access, which funders and licensing ask for.

  • com.cultureblocs.place.profile

    record

    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; the

    record not from the namespace authority

    DEPRECATED — do not write new records. Use community.lexicon.calendar.event instead: it is the shared event record of the open social web, so a venue's nights appear in every calendar app on the network rather than only in CultureBlocs. Cultural extras that the community event does not carry (who is on, works performed) live in com.cultureblocs.venue.lineup, which references the event. This schema remains published so existing records stay resolvable.

    DEPRECATED — do not write new records. Use com.cultureblocs.place.lineup, identical except that `venue` is renamed `place`. This schema remains published so existing records stay resolvable. Original description: cultural detail attached to an event that the shared calendar record does not carry: who is on, and what is performed or shown. A layer, not a replacement — it references an event by strongRef and never duplicates it. The same discipline as the creative namespace: layers reference the c
