Map: A map represented by a static file or document

The schema.org type Map only offers one special property beyond the parent CreativeWork. That is a mapType which is an enumeration of types that do not apply to OIH use cases. However, the use of the Map typing itself may aid in narrowing search requests later to a specific creative work.

Schema.org type Map is a subtype of CreativeWork. As such, we can all the approaches described in the Documents section for this type as well. The use of type Map would be focused on documenting files such as KML, GeoJSON or others as a creative work that may be downloaded and used either in a workflow or directly.

A map in this context would be a static file or document of some sort. Map services like those described by an OGC Catalogue Service or other GIS service would be described as a service. Potential approaches for doing can be seen the service type.

Note

In the current context, schema.org Map typically references maps as a document. Here we are likely to reference a KML, Shapefile or GeoPackage. We may wish to then indicate the type of document it is through a mimetype via encoding.

Details: Identifier#

For each profile there are a few key elements we need to know about. One key element is what the authoritative reference or canonical identifier is for a resource.
