Come to think of it, it could look like this:

{
    id: aString,
    name: aString,
    type: [{
      id: aString,
      name: aString
    },{
      ...
    }],
    image: {
      id: aString,
      src: aString     // url to the image
    },
    article: {
      id: aString,
      src: aString,    // url to retrieve the blurb
      blurb: aString   // if we have it or else null
    }
}
