EOCred outline use cases

Hello all,

as promised yesterday, I have put a set of outline use cases for 
describing educational and occupational credentials in schema.org into 
the community group wiki

https://www.w3.org/community/eocred-schema/wiki/Use_Cases

These very brief outlines of use cases are used to identify what 
information we need to be able to mark up in schema.org in order to 
provide meaningful services. These are not full use cases. We are not 
designing the services, merely enabling them, and so we do not attempt 
to describe actors, conditions, actions or responses; just sentence or 
two of context. From each outline we will derive one or two requirements.

These are slightly edited from those that I showed in a google doc 
previously, and I hope that I have addressed the comments that were made 
on that doc. Thank you especially Stuart and Hugh.

Please would *everyone take a look* at these outline use cases and 
discuss amendments here, and discuss here whether you think there are 
any important cases missing, or any that could be expressed more clearly.

Also, *please indicate which you think are the most important*. You can 
do that by putting a +1 or a star under the description, or with a 
message to this list. Don't be too selective, but at the same time don't 
just star them all. Imagine we could only do half of them: which half 
would you prioritise? I hope we can do all of them, but this will help 
us know which to focus on first.

The next step will be to work out what are the requirements arising from 
the highest priority use cases. This is often quite simple. For example, 
the first use case "Name search for credential: It should be possible to 
search for and find credentials by the name of the credential" simply 
requires that we identify what things are educational and occupational 
credentials and have the means to convey its the name. I hope we can 
make a start on that pretty soon.

All the best, Phil.
