What do Folksonomy Engine makes possible? We list here some use cases. These ones are a good way to test how Folksonomy Engine can work.

For the key (property) names, we use the same convention as OpenStreetMap: minus letters with underscores for spaces. Eg. seen_on_tv

Seen on TV (advertising)

What kind of products are most seen on TV? Can we compare these products with the rest of their category? Is it possible to collect those products without barcode?

Proposed keys (properties):

Key (property) Values Description Type Comments
seen_on_tv yes or no Is this product have been seen on TV? No value doesn't mean it can't be yes or no, it's just unknown. closed list (yes or no)
seen_on_tv:date Examples:
  • 2020
  • 2020-01
  • 2020-01/2020-06 for an interval
The date when it has been seen on TV. An interval is a better information, but a fixed date is a good first step. ISO 8601 format Entered manually or by a date picker
seen_on_tv:tv_channels Examples:
  • France: M6
  • UK: BBC1
On what channel? open list TODO: see if we can reuse wikidata TV channels

Products with film- or cartoon characters

These data can represent some interest. The characters can infer the target of the product. It can be interesting to understand if certain types of products are targeting special public, kids for example.

Key (property) Values Description Type Comments
packaging:has_character yes or no Is there a film- or cartoon character on this product? No can be interesting to share. Lack of value doesn't mean it can't be yes or no, it's just unknown. closed list (yes or no)
packaging:character:date Examples:
  • 2020
  • 2020-01
  • 2020-01/2020-06 for an interval
The date when it has been seen on the packaging. An interval is a better information, but a fixed date is a good first step. ISO 8601 format Entered manually or by a date picker
packaging:character Examples:
  • Hulk
  • Star Wars' stormtrooper
The common name of the character. open list
packaging:character:wikidata Example: Q51785 (Star Wars' Stormtrooper) The wikidata reference, to disambiguate the character. wikidata

Recalled products

Listing products recalls can be an interesting service.

Proposed keys (properties):

Key (property) Values Description Type Comments
recalled_product yes, no The product has been recalled or not. No value doesn't mean it can't be yes or no, it's just unknown. closed list (yes or no)
recalled_product:date Examples:
  • 2020
  • 2020-01
  • 2020-01/2020-06 for an interval
The date when it has been recalled. ISO 8601 format Entered manually or by a date picker
recalled_product:comments Any more information can be put here. Eg. the serial numbers of the product. Free text
recalled_product:link Examples: A link to the official source of the recall. link Possibility of many links?
