Place:Point

Place:Point node definition.

Description

Nodes with both the "Place" and "Point" labels, representing a variety of geospatial point locations, including points with an elevation level, often used in the recording of archaeological surveys and excavations. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #22223B: Place:Point with white (#FFFFFF) label text.

Analogy

A row in a "Points" spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example

Elevation points, general GPS points, etc.

CIDOC-CRM Mapping

MAYBE include a short summmary here, but leave the details for the designated CIDOC-CRM section.

Node Properties

Basic Properties

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
-	-	-	-	-	-
uid	string	Y	Y	Unique identifier as alphanumeric slug, prepended with “point-”	"point-uj-0034"
name	string	Y	Y	Unique name by which this Point is known in the database.	"UJ.Point.0034"
description	string	Y	n	Short description of the Point recorded by this node. Will almost certainly be unique, but this is not enforced.	"UJAP benchmark at West Church."
locationWKT	string (WKT)	n	n	REQUIRED FOR ALL NEW PLACES. The place's spatial geometry as a point, line, or (multi)polygon, expressed as a WKT string (the Open Geospatial Consortium standard for spatial geometry interchange).	"POINT ((36.379595 32.319053))"
locationSRID	string	n	n	REQUIRED FOR ALL PLACES WITH A locationWKT. Spatial Reference Identifier (SRID, often identical to EPSG code) for the coordinate reference system in which the location is defined.	"4326" for WGS 84
locationConfidence	string	n	n	REQUIRED FOR ALL PLACES WITH A locationWKT. The confidence level in the recorded location's accuracy and precision, selected from the Vocab:Confidence controlled vocabulary.	"moderate"

TENTATIVE Properties

(these may be changed to edge/relationships with Vocab terms or XX nodes, rather than directly stored as node properties)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
-	-	-	-	-	-
type	string	n	n	The type of Point recorded by this node entity, selected from the Vocab:PointType controlled vocabulary.	"benchmark"

System/Audit Properties

(these are not required/enforced by Neo4j but are populated via the UJAP Database web application; these could also be handled—perhaps more simply—by edge/relationship to AuditEvent nodes)

property	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
proposedAt	datetime	n	n	Timestamp of entity proposal (initial database record creation)	"2026-01-30T02:39:15.638Z"
proposedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who created this entity's initial/proposed record	"person@email.com"
approvedAt	datetime	n	n	Timestamp of entity proposal (initial database record creation)	"2026-01-30T12:47:15.638Z"
approvedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who created this entity's initial/proposed record	"person@email.com"
committedAt	datetime	n	n	of node entity COMMIT (i.e., formal approval/ publishing to database by an admin).	"2026-01-31T02:41:56.043Z"
committedBy	string	n	n	Email or userID of the person who COMMITTED this node entity.	"person@email.com"
