#20 Pre-announcement for FollowTheMoney 4.0

Effective date:
Components affected:Data model
Announcement:

We're working on a new major release of FollowTheMoney, the data model underlying OpenSanctions. This major release cleans up some aspects of the domain model. The changes mostly affect schemata not used by OpenSanctions. However, we want to list the relevant upcoming changes here:

  • The CryptoWallet:mangingExchange property will be renamed to CryptoWallet:managingExchange. This property is used by the il_mod_crypto dataset. Please update any client/import code reliant on this property to use the new name.
  • The Sanction:duration property will change its datatype from string to number. The property values remain strings in the JSON export format, and may still contain a unit specification (eg. 2 years). It is very likely that no action needs to be taken by data consumers.

Non-relevant schema changes:

  • The Post and Assessment schemata will be deleted. Both are unused by OpenSanctions.
  • Several other properties - not used in OS - will change: License:area (string to number), and the UserAccount:number property will be renamed to UserAccount:phone. The Company:ibcRuc property is to be deleted.

We will provide a more detailed change log when the release is published. This announcement merely serves as an early advisory regarding schema changes.
