Hello all, I think this is non-controversial: I have added to the wiki pages describing how to identify the start date, end date and location of a Course Instance by using the existing startDate, endDate and location properties in schema.org. This is just filling in what we had already put into examples when discussing CourseInstance as a sub-type of Event. This doesn't quite finish the job of describing where and when a course happens. A course instance may comprise several events, i.e. the individual lessons, lectures, seminars, labs, tests, exams etc. Requirement e) says we must be able to identify the dates and times at which individual course events are offered [1]. This is implied in some of the other requirements, e.g. about accessibility of events that are part of a course and the locations at which they are held. I propose we use http://schema.org/subEvent to point to these individual course meetings, which would each be a http://schema.org/EducationEvent It would then be possible to give relevant details about each one. I'll also note that it is often the case that lessons etc occur regularly (e.g. lab classes every Wednesday morning). There is an open issue for how to represent such events in schema.org at https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/240 Phil 1. https://www.w3.org/community/schema-course-extend/wiki/Outline_use_cases -- -- Phil Barker @philbarker LRMI, Cetis, ICBL http://people.pjjk.net/phil Heriot-Watt University Ubuntu: http://xkcd.com/456/ not so much an operating system as a learning opportunity.
