Yes, I think that is what we would do. But I would flag it with a question about whether it should be a more generic property for Event.

I don't see anything under Event at the moment which fits the bill. There is http://schema.org/EventStatusType which can be used for showing whether the event is cancelled, postponed, rescheduled or scheduled: close but not the the right values. Other than that there is, as part of Offer, http://schema.org/availability which includes SoldOut, but seems more geared to physical items. I don't see anything for event capacity except maybe the http://schema.org/inventoryLevel property of Offer. > > I am inclined to think that we need one new property eventCapacity (or just capacity if it is to be specific to courses), and an extension to http://schema.org/EventStatusType > > Phil > > > On 09/04/2016 20:13, Developer, SleepingDog wrote: >> We have used/displayed course instance status values of: >> >> open (applications accepted, course instance not reached maximum >> capacity) full (course instance has reached maximum, no further >> applications accepted) waiting list (places available only if others >> drop out, which was reasonably common, applications still accepted) >> closed (no applications accepted, existing applications voided, which >> I think happened if course target numbers for viability were not >> reached) >> >> Perhaps from a user (applicant, searcher) viewpoint, it is not the numerical value, but the application status of the course instance that is most significant? >> >> We did have the notion of showing a ‘fullness’ gauge, so that people might have more information to decide whether to apply now or decide later, which would have been based on a numerical calculation, but never put this into practice. >> >> Does the number of fellow students have a particular value to course instance applicants beyond this? >> >> >> Tavis >> >> >> >>> On 01 Apr 2016, at 13:54, Jim Goodell <jimgoodell@qi-partners.com> wrote: >>> >>> A member of the CEDS community suggested a new element for the capacity of a CourseInstance.
