Interactive maps and locations

Whether it's a music pub, theater stage, multipurpose building, or hotel—venues in OpenCulturas can be defined broadly. But the principle is simple: enter address, contact details, and directions once, and keep them up to date in a single location.

The categorization of venues follows your requirements. By assigning categories, they can be grouped and differentiated. Points of interest (POIs) can be distinguished by type: monuments, music pubs, train stations—you decide which categories are important for locations on your website.

Venues are aggregated on map views. Such maps can be placed (even pre-filtered) on different landing pages.

Structured data

When data is captured in a uniform structure, it can be displayed in various ways and filtered accordingly. Standardized properties also make datasets compatible with other systems.

• Address fields
• Opening hours
• Directions (public transport planner can be embedded)
• Contact details, social media links
• Accessibility
• Large header image, profile text, and logo
• Slideshow (images, videos)
• Tagging
• Audience feedback, comments (optional)
• Link to regular performers

Automatic interlinking with other content

• Event dates at this location

Tagging

The central keyword catalog applies here as well. If you use tags like "theater", "industrial charm", or "exhibitions", you can tag locations with them too. This way, locations automatically appear on the landing page "industrial charm".

Additionally, locations can be categorized, for example as "museum", "outdoor theater", or "catering". Again, a landing page is automatically created for each keyword. Experienced OpenCulturas users create custom focus pages like "museums in the Harz" or "theater in industrial heritage buildings" using the provided components.
