As Jeff also replied, this pattern is for uncontrolled user-derived classes. > Can anyone confirm? Because that would knock out a couple of the options > that are currently on the page. Schema.org properties can belong to more than one class (have more than one domain), which don't have to be subclasses of one another. Quoting [1]: [[[ 1. each property may have one or more types as its domains. The property may be used for instances of any of these types. 2. each property may have one or more types as its ranges. The value(s) of the property should be instances of at least one of these types. The decision to allow multiple domains and ranges was purely pragmatic. While the computational properties of systems with a single domain and range are easier to understand, in practice, this forces the creation of a lot of artifical types, which are there purely to act as the domain/range of some properties. ]]] Thus I think all is good with your proposals.
