Data Schema

The recommendation system aims to provide users with relevant health resources based on their initial query. We can use service data from different sources such as the Ontario 211 API or the Empower API. But, for the recommendation system, we use a common schema.

The schema is as follows:

[
    {
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Test Service 1",
        "description": "This is a test service 1 providing medical clinic services.",
        "latitude": 43.563807766096275,
        "longitude": -79.40435634607296,
        "phone_numbers": [
            {
                "number": "574-696-8554",
                "type": "primary",
                "name": "Test Service 1",
                "description": "This is the primary phone number for Test Service 1.",
                "extension": "123"
            }
        ],
        "address": {
            "street1": "994 Yonge Street",
            "city": "Toronto",
            "province": "ON",
            "postal_code": "M5E1 B07",
            "country": "Canada"
        },
        "email": "service1@example.com",
        "metadata": {
            "type": "Medical Clinic",
            "languages": [
                "English",
                "French"
            ]
        }
    }
]
