OpenPhoto

OpenPhoto, a photo service for the masses

What are schemas?

Schemas are the blueprint for various objects in the OpenPhoto platform. The most logical example is the Photo object which represents a single photo in a user's photo collection. Their photo library consists of a collection of Photo objects. Other examples are a User object and Social object.

Why are schemas important?

By defining these schemas we enable different OpenPhoto applications to share the same data. Since a Photo object has a predictable set of properties it means that any application can easily interact with it.

Available schemas

  1. User - Settings for a user.
  2. Photo - Properties for a single photo.
  3. Social - Comments and favorites on a photo.
