Gazetteers: Adding Image Links

You can add URLs to one or more images depicting your place using the foaf:depiction property. Optionally, you can provide metadata about the images in an extra section (one per image).

<http://www.mygazetteer.org/place/0001> a lawd:Place ; 
  rdfs:label "The Roman Theatre"@en ;

  # Various other data about your place...

  foaf:depiction <http://www.example.com/images/place0001_img001.jpg> ;
  foaf:depiction <http://www.example.com/images/place0001_img002.jpg> ;
  .

<http://www.example.com/images/place0001_img001.jpg> a foaf:Image ;
  dcterms:title "The Roman Theatre" ;
  dcterms:license <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/> ;
  .

<http://www.example.com/images/place0001_img002.jpg> a foaf:Image ;
  dcterms:title "The Roman Theatre from far away" ;
  dcterms:license <http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/> ;
  .

If you are serving IIIF images, please consider linking to your IIIF service using this pattern.

Other useful properties you may want to add to the image description sections are:

• dcterms:creator to credit the creator of the image by name
• dcterms:created to include the time the image was created
• dcterms:description an additional (longer) text description
• foaf:thumbnail a URL to a smaller-sized version of the image that can be used as a thumbnail preview
