Praized API Concepts and definitions

What is Praized ?

See http://praizedmedia.com/en/tour/

Merchant

The merchant is the subject on which users vote, comment, tag and bookmark.

The merchant is the central object on which action are made.

A merchant is a place, it can be a restaurant, a park an hotel, it has coordinates associated with it.

Place and merchant can be used interchangeably for this version of the API, but a place can be seen as more general, like a mall or a park for instance. A merchant is a type of place.

Community

A community is a group of users associated with a Web site or an application. A user can be in multiple communities.

Vote

A vote is either positive or negative. Users vote on merchants. Votes are kept by the Praized platform by community and by user. A user can positively vote (or Praize, as seen in the Facebook version of Praized) on a merchant in one community, and negatively (Razed) in another according the views of the community. For instance, as a parent, I might raze a restaurant in a parent children community because it does not welcome children, but praize it in another community because they have great microbrewery brews.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks, or favorites, point to the favorite merchants of a user.

Friendship

Friendship defines a relationship between two users. It is not limited to the concept of friendship in real life.
