Annotation Support

One thing that is really important is the ability to allow data publishers or consumers to create annotations that describe how the raw data should be understood by the DataBrowser.

We have defined a simple annotation model that consists of:

Target Property Value

The Target is the qualified name of the Type or PropertyType that is being decorated. The Property is the name of property being added to the target. The Value is the value of the property.

An example: If we have a type with an identifier: http://www.brightstardb.com/types/person

and want to indicate to the DataBrowser that this type has an image property the annotation would be:

http://www.brightstardb.com/types/person ImageUrl "http://.....imagelink"
