问题描述
为了以应用程序为中心来描述 REST API,我正在尝试使用 ALPS 描述符及其工具。
假设我有一个对象“艺术品”,艺术品具有以下属性:标题、艺术形式、作者等
我应该如何描述属性“authors”?在 OpenAPI 规范中很简单,只需说“类型:数组”,然后在“项目”下指定引用。在 ALPS 中描述集合的等效方式是什么?
我使用 YAML 格式来描述 API。
我当前的描述符如下所示:
descriptors:
# vocabulary properties
- id: "identifier"
type: "semantic"
text: "Unique identifier within Alpha Org. This is not the serial number of the item. This identifier is automatically generated when a new artwork item is created in the system."
ref: "https://schema.org/identifier"
- id: "headline"
type: "semantic"
text: "Title of the artwork"
ref: "https://schema.org/headline"
- id: "artform"
type: "semantic"
text: "Form of the artwork: painting? photograph? sculpture? others?"
ref: "https://schema.org/artform"
- id: "authors"
type: "semantic"
text: "Authors of this artwork"
ref: "https://schema.org/author"
- id: "serialNumber"
type: "semantic"
text: "Serial number of the artwork. If the artwork does not have a serial number,such as an original painting from an artist,then this number is simply the examplar number,usually 1."
ref: "https://schema.org/serialNumber"
- id: "description"
type: "semantic"
text: "Description of the artwork"
ref: "https://schema.org/description"
- id: "obtainDate"
type: "semantic"
text: "Date on which Alpha Org obtained the ownership of this artwork."
ref: "https://schema.org/Date"
- id: "itemLocation"
type: "semantic"
text: "Location of the storage of the artwork item"
ref: "https://schema.org/itemLocation"
- id: "images"
type: "semantic"
text: "Images of the artwork"
ref: "https://schema.org/image"
解决方法
ALPS 描述不区分单个项目和集合。从模型 POV 来看,任何东西都可以是一个集合,从实现 POV 来看,实现该 ALPS 描述的每个服务都做出自己的决定。
作为一种常见做法,我通常在重要时使用 IANA 链接相关值
rel: item and rel: collection
有一个小实用程序 (ALPS UNIFIED) 展示了如何将 ALPS 描述转换为 OpenAPI 定义: https://github.com/mamund/alps-unified
