Re: EOCred: Addressing requirements from use cases

Thanks Ryan, yes hooking into an existing schema.org type can minimize 
the number of new properties that are required. Don't worry about Course 
having an educationalCredentialAwarded property being a distraction: I 
think that we will be connecting to that when we get further down the 
list of use cases.
