SubjectArea

The SubjectArea resource (Subject Area) of OAS Layer 0 (C0) is used to catalog and identify specific subjects within the standards database. It allows grouping rubrics and exercises under the same discipline.

Schema

Unlike more complex resources, SubjectArea primarily uses the metadata block to define its properties.

Metadata (metadata)

Field	Type	Required	Description
name	string	Yes	Unique identifier for the subject area (e.g. global.c0.subject_area.ap_spanish...).
displayName	string	Yes	Human-readable name of the subject in the UI.
description	string	Yes	Description or context of this area.
tags	string[]	No	Keywords for indexing (e.g. [global, ap_spanish_language_and_culture]).
version	string	Yes	Semantic version.

Specification (spec)

In most base implementations of ColabEdu, the spec block of a SubjectArea is optional, as the meta-information is sufficient to index and link resources.
