Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent identify a campus and its institution, relay facilities, access, safety and accessibility information from the institution, distinguish campus from institution and from individual buildings, and route directions and services to official sources.

The grounds and buildings of a university, college or school, and by extension of a company or hospital, forming a bounded site with teaching, research, residential and service facilities; a campus may be a single site, a main site with satellites, or shared by several institutions, and is managed under the estate and safety rules of its owner.

What it is for: Housing an institution and its activities on one site.

It can be identify the campus and its institution; relay facilities, access and safety information; distinguish main, satellite and shared campuses; route wayfinding and services to the institution.
