...

Create and Update should use the following schema. The value of vocabType must be "PlaceAuthority".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<document name="placeauthorities">
  <ns2:placeauthorities_common xmlns:ns2="http://services.collectionspace.org/place">
    <displayName>Default PlaceAuthority</displayName>
    <shortIdentifier>place</shortIdentifier>
    <vocabType>PlaceAuthority</vocabType>
  </ns2:placeauthorities_common>
</document>

Read will return the above, plus additional fields (uri and csid) for access:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<document name="placeauthorities">
  <ns2:collectionspace_core xmlns:ns2="http://collectionspace.org/collectionspace_core/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    ...
    <uri>/placeauthorities/afbb91ca-3988-4524-bada</uri>
    ...
  </ns2:collectionspace_core>
  <ns2:placeauthorities_common xmlns:ns2="http://collectionspace.org/services/place" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

    <csid>afbb91ca-3988-4524-bada</csid>

  </ns2:placeauthorities_common>
</document>

PlaceAuthority-List schema

List (and variants) will return the following schema:

Place CRUD+L services

Place item instances are only accessible via the owning PlaceAuthority. The sub-resource is accessed with "items" (for consistency across all vocabulary-like services). In the examples below, the {place-auth-id} parameter represents the CSID value of an existing PlaceAuthority instance.

...

Creates a new Place record. Assigns a unique, service-specified CollectionSpace ID (CSID) to that Place record. Follows standard Create model. Must See the documentation of the Place schema, below. Example:

POST /cspace-services/placeauthorities/{place-auth-id}/items HTTP/1.1

You may also POST a part called

and any new relations there will be created. For example, this POST will add a relationship. Note that you must know beforehand the CSIDs of related terms. These are the CSIDs of two other Place records, which must exist before this call. The special variable ${itemCSID} will be expanded to the CSID of the newly created Place. (For Java use, please use the constant in CommonAPI.AuthorityItemCSID_REPLACE )

NOTE

...

NOTE: if you wish to delete related items,
simply send relations-common-list as an empty element.

Reads an existing Place record, specified by its CollectionSpace ID (CSID). Follows standard Read model. See the documentation of the Place schema, below. Example:

There are additional query parameters to get the relations for this item.
Query Parameters are defined and explained here, with examples: Authority REST API for Hierarchies

...

Updates an existing Place record, specified by its CollectionSpace ID (CSID). Follows standard Update model. See the documentation of the Place schema, below. Example:

You may also PUT a part called

<ns3:relations-common-list>

and any new relations there will be created. Relations to the updated item which are missing from the relations list in the PUT will be deleted from persistence. No target records are deleted, just the relations records that point to target records. E.g., POST to authority with Place "San Jose, CA", with relations-common-list that has an entry for ${itemCSID} hasBroader "Santa Clara County" creates a relations record that references both San Jose, CA and Santa Clara County. When a PUT is made that does not have the relation for Santa Clara County, then San Jose, CA has no relations, so the relations record for San Jose, CA==>hasBroader==>Santa Clara County is deleted, but both "San Jose, CA" and "Santa Clara County" Place records remain.

Deletes an existing Place record, specified by its CollectionSpace ID (CSID). Follows standard Delete model. Example:
