Define the data model for the camps

[bobinson]

• We need to define a data model for the release camps using HDX as a referee

• This will ensure that the camp module has interoperability with other modules

• https://github.com/HXLStandard/libhxl-python

• https://hxlstandard.org/

• the data exchange itself should be happening using OpenAPI 2.0 between apps

• HDX and HXL will be used across all the modules

1. This is how I can think of implementing this:
   We can hardcode a hxl tag - field map in the models.
   This metadata can be provided in the api and also used in the headers of data exports just as show in https://hxlstandard.org/

2. OpenApi 2.0 is very easy to implement in Django.

We have 2 purposes of using HXL here. One is for visualization and the second is to establish a standard to exchange the data between multiple modules. Once we have the means to define a standard mechanism to represent a relief camp using a predefined specification, then, we can expose it via OpenAPI. So the priority is to first define how we represent the relief camps. Then we can get into adding the tags.

no. Just do standard db models.. what are the tables in a mysql db(im not proposing mysql here ..any traditional db) ..what are fields, what column types lengths and constraints, and what are the relationships.

there is no app.
