While working on my current data modeling problem, as detailed in an
earlier thread at:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...6c1e49c681c5bb

I noticed that the Craigslist categories (described below) share a
similar pattern i.e. they have attributes common to many categories,
and then some attributes only found in certain categories.

Has anybody ever analysed - and maybe described - the Craigslist data
schema, and/or seen any articles written about it?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Craigslist categories are:

# job
# gigs
# housing
# for sale / wanted
# resume
# services offered
# personal / romance
# community
# event


All categories have:

- title
- advertiser's location
- description
- advertiser's contact info/method
- contact permissions


Additional attributes per category:

# job
- compensation
- telecommuting ok, part-time, intern etc. (set)

# gigs
- compensation

# housing
- rent
- number of bedrooms
- address
- images
- cats / dogs OK (set)

# for sale / wanted
- price

# resume
- nothing extra -

# services offered
- nothing extra -

# personal / romance
- age
- advertiser's gender

# community

# event

Im studing the craigslist data schema and any info would be very
helpfull.
