User:Tegnosis/Structured Data

Some info on the future goal of adding structured data to the wiki.

Description
The first round will focus on Countries (example: England Genealogy) and their associated Topic pages (example: England Medical Records). As a note, we won't be able to use the current AllCountrySidebar template the way it's written since it breaks on the first space, but that doesn't work for Countries with more than one word and breaking on "Genealogy" won't work for Topic pages. I added "Name of Country" to the list of Fields for Country pages and that should solve that issue (i.e. we can use that field to build all the link names).

Fields for countries

 * 1) Name of Country
 * 2) Dates
 * 3) * Incorporation/Start
 * 4) * Through current or end date
 * 5) Geographic center
 * 6) FamilySearch region
 * 7) Moderator
 * 8) Population
 * 9) What record types exist (storing the links)?
 * 10) Languages spoken?
 * 11) Place ID
 * 12) Note, some countries (China, Tawain, etc. are contentous about the county they belong to so might contain more than one country code)

Fields for localized jurisdiction names

 * i.e. State, Department, Province, Region, etc. (get list from Amber)
 * Form will have radio buttons to allow editor to choose Localized jurisdiction, then the page (via Template) can show up differently (beyond stating the localized jurisdiction name, Danielle & Amber to inform this)

There seems to be a standard way we can use where:
 * Level 0 = Country
 * Level 1 = State (or localized name)
 * Level 2 = County (or localized name)
 * Level 3 = City (or localized name)

Questions

 * 1) What is the generic name of the next level down after Country?
 * 2) * Is there a list of specific names that should exist on the form (State, Department, Provence, etc.)
 * 3) * Answered above
