Dear all:

We have just finalized a proposal for adding better support for cars (sales and rental) and other vehicles to schema.org. 

Please find the proposal in the following places:

* Git repository 
    https://mfhepp@bitbucket.org/mfhepp/sdo-vehicles.git
* W3C Wiki
    https://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Vehicles
* Development version of schema.org including the proposal
    http://sdo-vehicles.appspot.com/

See e.g.
    http://sdo-vehicles.appspot.com/Car
    http://sdo-vehicles.appspot.com/Van
    http://sdo-vehicles.appspot.com/Motorcycle

For a quick overview of the proposed changes, see
    https://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Vehicles#New_Elements

Essentially, the proposal adds the most relevant parts from the following vehicle-related extensions for GoodRelations:

- Vehicle Sales Ontology (VSO), http://purl.org/vso/ns
- Volkswagen Vehicles Ontology (VVO), http://purl.org/vvo/ns
- Used Cars Ontology (UCO), http://purl.org/uco/ns

Any feedback is very welcome.

Best wishes

Martin and Karol Szczepański
