In the upper menu (option Search descriptions) there is a searchable database of the descriptions for all the properties across the different data models.
Try it out here.

Museum data model updated
In order to align the data model for museum inside the subject of PointOf Interest with the Schema.org regarding the opening hours specification, it has been modified to make it compliant with it.
in fact, this translation of schema.org it has become part of the common shared elements of the data models available in the section DateTime-commons at the common-schema.json.
Working with https and improvement in the issue form
1.- It is just a technical improvement but now you can access everything in this site with https://data-models.fiware.org.
2.- The issue form has also been improved with new options but simplified structure.
Check it out and please report any issue.

New version of contributors file
Every subject had a file named CONTRIBUTORS.md which compiles all contributors to the different data models in this subject. However, from the point of view of the management, it was not a structured format. Due to this, it is going to be replaced with a new file named CONTRIBUTORS.yaml with the same info but structured so we could manage properly and answer questions like:
- How many contributors collaborate in this subject?
- How many subjects are being contributed by this person?
- What organisations are contributing to the initiative?
Now there is also a field for allocating comments.
The format is friendly enough to be simply edited but at the same time, it can be automatically processed.
Next week CONTRIBUTORS.md will be removed from the different repos.
New commons section for data models
There is a new common section, named “DateTime-Commons“, in the file common-schema.json (the one which is partially included into most of the data models) because it compiles some shared elements (like Location-Commons or GSMA-Commons).
This section includes the first element, which is the mapping into a property (type object) of the schema.org class OpeningHoursSpecification. (see below)
So whenever there is an opening hours specification this would be the chosen format. (It is true that there is a similar property named OpeningHours, also mapped in schema.org) that it is only a text (oriented to be printed more than queried).
It only affects the museum data model that it will be updated after gathering the feedback of the contributors.
The new section included.
“DateTime-Commons”: {
“type”: “object”,
“description” : “All date-time elements in data models unless explicitly stated are ISO 8601 compliant”,
“properties”: {
“openingHoursSpecification”: {
“type”: “array”,
“description”: “A structured value providing information about the opening hours of a place or a certain service inside a place.”,
“items”: {
“properties”: {
“opens”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“closes”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“dayOfWeek”: {
“type”: “string”,
“enum”: [
“Monday”,
“Tuesday”,
“Wednesday”,
“Thursday”,
“Friday”,
“Saturday”,
“Sunday”,
“PublicHolidays”
]
},
“validFrom”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
},
“validThrough”: {
“type”: “string”,
“format”: “date-time”
}
}
},
“minItems”: 1
}
}
See it in the original file common-schema.json.
Improved the attributes and enumeration data base
Now it is based on a responsive interface with these options:
- Sort any column
- Search on any value across the different columns
- 50-pages pagination
Updated the attributes search data base
In order to create a new data model is always interesting what others have done in order copy and to maintain interoperability.
That’s why we have available a database with all attributes and enumerations across all data models. 
Now it’s updated daily and the number of occurrences is also available.
Submodules for Smart Destination
The new domain of Smart Destination includes now data models from Weather and Point of Interest. They are available as submodules.
The submodules are independent repositories and therefore its evolution will help Smart Destination to keep updated with the new needs.
Documentation status for all data models
Every day will be checked the documentation available for each data model and the result is dumped in the file documentationStatus.json
It would help a user to identify all the documentation, examples, schemas and specification available and it allows an automated use for any other purpose.
Check it out.
