Lifts

A resource that implements the concept of Lift defined in the AlpineBits® Ontology.

A JSON object representing such a resource MUST contain the following fields:

  • type: the constant "lifts" that identifies the resource as being a lift.

  • id: a string that uniquely and persistently identifies the lift within a SERVER. See the definition in ???.

  • attributes: an object containing the attributes of the lift.

  • relationships: an object containing the relationships of the lift to other resources.

  • links: an object containing the links related to the lift.

A lift resource is structured as follows:

{
  "type": "lifts",
  "id": "1",
  "meta": { ... },
  "attributes": { ... },
  "relationships": { ... },
  "links": { ... }
}

Meta

See the definition of the meta object in ???.

Attributes

The attributes object of a lift resource MUST contain the following fields:

  • abstract: a ??? object containing a brief description for the lift. Nullable. See the definition in ???.

  • address: an ??? object representing the address of the lift. The address should only be set if the lift is directly accessible from a public road. In such cases, the address should be that of the base station. Nullable.

  • capacity: a number representing how many persons the lift can transport hourly on average. Nullable. Positive value.

  • description: a ??? object containing a description of the lift. Nullable. Conditional Assignment. See the definition in ???.

  • geometries: an array of ??? objects each of which represents the location of the lift in terms of GPS coordinates. There should be at most one geometry object of each type (e.g. Point, LineString). Nullable. Non-empty.

  • howToArrive: a ??? object containing instructions on how to arrive at the lift. Nullable.

  • length: a number representing the length of the lift in meters. Nullable.

  • maxAltitude: a number representing the highest elevation point of the lift in meters above sea level. Nullable.

  • minAltitude: a number representing the lowest elevation point of the lift in meters above sea level. Nullable.

  • name: a ??? object containing the complete name of the lift. Non-nullable. Conditional Assignment. See the definition in ???.

  • openingHours: an ??? object representing the hours in which the lift is open to the public. Nullable.

  • personsPerChair: an integer representing the number of persons that fit in a single chair/cabin of a lift. Nullable. Positive value.

  • shortName: a ??? object containing a short name of the lift. Nullable. See the definition in ???.

  • url: a ??? object or string describing the lift, such as a website or a Wikipedia page. Nullable. See the definition in ???.

Relationships

The relationships object of a lift resource MUST contain the following fields:

  • categories: a ??? category resources that are instantiated by the lift. See Section ???. Nullable. Non-empty.

    The standard recommends the following categories for lifts:, "alpinebits:chairlift", "alpinebits:gondola", "alpinebits:skilift", "alpinebits:cablecar, "alpinebits:funicular", "alpinebits:magic-carpet", "alpinebits:skibus", "alpinebits:train".

  • connections: a ??? place resources that identify the places that are physically accessible from the lift, which may include ???, other Lifts, ???, and ???. Nullable. Non-empty.

    Notice that connections between place resources may not be symmetrical (i.e., bidirectional). For example, a place like a lift may give access to a snowpark, but the snowpark may not give access back to it.

  • multimediaDescriptions: a ??? media object resources (see ???) that are related to the lift. See Section ???. Nullable. Non-empty.

A summary of the relationships is presented in the table below:
