Hi All Thanks everyone for contributing and picking this up from twitter. I am somewhat out of my comfort zone with this sort of discussion, but Jane S might be able to help me when she picks this up if she has time, although I’m attempting to lead on this as the rest of our team have more than enough to do. As is mentioned briefly below, we recently went live with a new version of the Hub - https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/ . This does now give us, amongst other things, more flexibility to implement things like schema.org, and we are keen to do this if we can. Maybe this is an obvious thing to say, but at least from my point of view, the focus is improving discoverability in search engines by such things as localisation and improved presentation of results in SERPs which as I understand it, schema.org helps with, along with perhaps boosting the overall SERP ranking for the Hub. I imagine we all want to avoid the development of an alternative archives specification (do we?), but at the same time I understand it can’t be too much of a shoehorning job. I presume the more we move away from using established terms such as http://schema.org/LocalBusiness , the more we risk losing the payoff of using schema.org in the first place, so please correct me if I’m wrong in that assumption. I also don’t really have any sense of how close we are to having something that can be formalised and used at the moment either. Just to pick up on a couple of things from Richard: > • To indicate a Thing (Book, ImageObject, Vehicle) is in an archive the ArchivedItem type is added as an additionalType. This gives access, in addition to the normal properties for the type in question, to the archive specific properties, to use to markup the item. Ok, I think I get that. Is the issue of confusion between the wiki and http://archive.sdo-archive.appspot.com/ArchivedItem addressed then, as I’m still not sure. > • The question then is which Type to make ArchivedItem a subtype of? > • CreativeWork, Product, etc. would be too specific > • Thing would be a possibility. However in Schema.org only the highest level types become a subtype of Thing. > • That leaves Intangible. Already has a collection of subtypes with similar issues. As much as I want to get going on with things, I suppose this feels like quite a shoehorn, but I’m not sure if I’m too worried about.
