notman-occupants

Metadata for Notman occupants, both people and organizations. Browse the directory at maison-notman-house.github.io/notman-occupants/.

This project was initiated as part of HackTheHouse 3 and inspiration for this directory comes from Sniffypedia.

Structured, Linked Data

Each occupant is represented as structured, linked data in the form of JSON-LD and Schema.org. This is the format championed by the major search engines. For example, the OSMO Foundation is represented at Organizations/OSMO_Foundation, which has the JSON-LD and Schema.org embedded in the human-readable webpage. The machine-readable JSON-LD and Schema.org can be extracted via a program such as cormorant (repository).

{
  "@context": {
    "schema": "http://schema.org/"
  },
  "@graph": [
    {
      "@id": "organization",
      "@type": "schema:Organization",
      "schema:name": "OSMO Foundation",
      "schema:url": "https://maison-notman-house.github.io/notman-occupants/Organization/OSMO_Foundation/",
      "schema:logo": "https://maison-notman-house.github.io/notman-occupants/Organization/OSMO_Foundation/768x768.jpg",
      "schema:sameAs": []
    }
  ]
}

In the example of the OSMO Foundation, the above enables computers to understand:

• the organization's name
• the organization's logo
• the organization's social media links (which would be in the "sameAs" array)

Using the occupants directory in your web application

You can get the latest directory for your web application by importing the index.js file in the of your HTML file:

<script src="https://maison-notman-house.github.io/notman-occupants/js/index.js"></script>

Then in your Javascript, you'll have access to the following two arrays:

• notman_organizations
• notman_people

See the index for the latest values of the above.

Adding occupants

You can add an occupant in the Organization or Person folder of this repository. Simply copy an existing organization or person and update the relevant fields in the index.html file (title and JSON-LD). You can also add a square image.
