The information model is a metadata specification that aims to describe places to visit in Sweden. The model also supports a simple expression if there are trails at these places to hike.

We recommend for you who want to express your trails more accurately to follow the detailed application profile for trails that is inspired by the work with domain specifications that has been done in Germany.

Application profile for trails

The diagram below shows the primary classes, relationships between them as well as a selection of their mandatory and recommended properties. Note that for readability's sake, classes and properties have been given English names both in headings and in the diagram. The actual metadata expressions are listed in detail under each heading.
