Re: Suggestion for RDF

Adam, thanks for the suggestion. What your asking for seems to be more related to vocabulary design than RDFa in  particular. You might look at Good Relations[1], particularly their notion of Location[2], which seems like it might relate to the "areas serviced" spec you suggest. I don't know if GR discusses the notion of areas serviced beyond specifying the location of the service or business itself.

Schema.org also has the notion of Place [3], which is used for many other types, such as LocalBusiness[4]. The best place to discuss vocabulary-related use cases and requirements is public-vocabs@w3.org.
