OK

- POIAbridged[]
  - `id` string: Unique identifier of the record, auto-generated by the system.

  - `msnid` string: Optional mission ID related to the POI.
  - `pri` integer: Priority of the POI target object.
  - `trkid` string: Optional ID of an associated track related to the POI object, if applicable. This track ID should correlate the Point of Interest to a track from the Track service.
  - `idWeatherReport` string[]: Array of one or more unique identifiers of weather records associated with this POI. Each element in array must be 36 characters or less in length.
  - `poiid` string, required: Identifier of the actual Point of Interest or target object, which should remain the same on subsequent POI records of the same Point of Interest.
  - `name` string, required: Name of the POI target object.
  - `desc` string: Description of the POI target object.
  - `spec` string: Specific point/object type (e.g., 82/GROUND, LIGHT_TANK, etc.).
  - `ident` string: Estimated identity of the point/object (e.g., FRIEND, HOSTILE, SUSPECT, ASSUMED_FRIEND, UNKNOWN, etc.).
  - `env` string: POI environment type (e.g., LAND, SURFACE, SUBSURFACE, UNKNOWN, etc.).
  - `plat` string: POI/object platform type (e.g., 14/GROUND, COMBAT_VEHICLE, etc.).
  - `activity` string: The activity in which the POI subject is engaged. Intended as, but not constrained to, MIL-STD-6016 environment dependent activity designations. The activity can be reported as either a combination of the code and environment (e.g. 30/LAND) or as the descriptive enumeration (e.g. TRAINING), which are equivalent.
  - `ts` string, date-time, required: Activity/POI timestamp in ISO8601 UTC format.
  - `start` string, date-time: Start time of event validity (optional), in ISO8601 UTC format.
  - `stale` string, date-time: Stale timestamp (optional), in ISO8601 UTC format.
  - `how` string: How the event point was generated, in CoT object heirarchy notation (optional, CoT).
  - `type` string: Event type, in CoT object heirarchy notation (optional, CoT).
  - `lat` number, double: WGS-84 latitude of the POI, in degrees (+N, -S), -90 to 90.
  - `lon` number, double: WGS-84 longitude of the POI, in degrees (+E, -W), -180 to 180.
  - `alt` number, double: Point height above ellipsoid (WGS-84), in meters.
  - `az` number, double: Target object pointing azimuth angle, in degrees (for target with sensing or emitting capability).
  - `el` number, double: Target object pointing elevation angle, in degrees (for target with sensing or emitting capability).
  - `le` number, double: Height above lat/lon point, in meters (1-sigma, if representing linear error).
  - `ce` number, double: Radius of circular area about lat/lon point, in meters (1-sigma, if representing error).
  - `elle` number[]: Elliptical area about the lat/lon point, specified as [semi-major axis (m), semi-minor axis (m), orientation (deg) off true North at POI].
  - `cntct` string: Contact information for assets reporting PPLI (Precise Participant Location and Identification). PPLI is a Link 16 message that is used by units to transmit complete location, identification, and limited status information.
  - `conf` number, double: POI confidence estimate (not standardized, but typically a value between 0 and 1, with 0 indicating lowest confidence.
  - `urls` string[]: List of URLs to before/after images of this Point of Interest entity.
  - `atext` string: Geographical region or polygon (lon/lat pairs), as depicted by the Well-Known Text representation of the geometry/geography, of the image as projected on the ground. WKT reference: https://www.opengeospatial.org/standards/wkt-crs. Ignored if included with a POST or PUT request that also specifies a valid 'area' field.
  - `agjson` string: Geographical region or polygon (lat/lon pairs), as depicted by the GeoJSON representation of the geometry/geography, of the image as projected on the ground. GeoJSON Reference: https://geojson.org/. Ignored if included with a POST or PUT request that also specifies a valid 'area' or 'atext' field.
  - `atype` string: Type of region as projected on the ground.
  - `andims` integer: Number of dimensions of the geometry depicted by region.
  - `asrid` integer: Geographical spatial_ref_sys for region.
  - `createdAt` string, date-time: Time the row was created in the database.
  - `createdBy` string: Application user who created the row in the database.
  - `sourceDL` string: The source data library from which this record was received. This could be a remote or tactical UDL or another data library. If null, the record should be assumed to have originated from the primary Enterprise UDL.
  - `source` string, required: Source of the data.
  - `dataMode` 'REAL' | 'TEST' | 'SIMULATED' | 'EXERCISE', required: Indicator of whether the data is REAL, TEST, EXERCISE, or SIMULATED data: REAL: Data collected or produced that pertains to real-world objects, events, and analysis. TEST: Specific datasets used to evaluate compliance with specifications and requirements, and for validating technical, functional, and performance characteristics. EXERCISE: Data pertaining to a government or military exercise. The data may include both real and simulated data. SIMULATED: Synthetic data generated by a model to mimic real-world datasets.
  - `origin` string: Originating system or organization which produced the data, if different from the source. The origin may be different than the source if the source was a mediating system which forwarded the data on behalf of the origin system. If null, the source may be assumed to be the origin.

  - `asset` string: ID/name of the platform or entity providing the POI data.
  - `beNumber` string: The Basic Encyclopedia Number associated with the POI, if applicable.
