Hi, I'm completely new to tmforum standards, so hope this question makes sense. I'm working on implementing a data structure for storing InstallationAddress for a service (TMF638). Unfortunately, we don't have any geographic address management system that follows the tmforum standard. Reading TMF638_Service_Inventory (v5.0.0), there is an example of how to use the RelatedPlaceRefOrValue which looks like this:

"place": [
    {
        "role": "InstallationAddress",
        "place": {
            "href": "https://mycsp.com:8080/tmf-api/geographicAddressManagement/v5/geographicAddress/2435",
            "id": "2435",
            "name": "Customer primary location",
            "@type": "PlaceRef",
            "@referredType": "GeographicAddress"
        },
        "@type": "RelatedPlaceRefOrValue"
    }
]

In this example, this related place actually refers to a geographic address with ID 2435. So this is actually a reference to a place (that is stored inside the geographic address management api). But how will the datastructure look like if choose to pass by "value" instead of by "ref"?

Concrete example: Let's say I just want to store the InstallationAddress as a set of coordinates (x-y), can I do something like this:

"place": [
    {
        "place": {
            "geometry": [
                {
                    "x": "1.43",
                    "y": "43.59"
                }
            ]
        },
        "role": "InstallationAddress",
        "@type": "GeographicLocation"
    }
]

Does this following tmforum standard?
Thanks in advance!

This was discussed in the Open APIs community. Use the search engine and lookup RefOrValue.

TMF630 API guideline might also help.
