Re: offeredBy to supersede vendor, merchant, provider, seller, …?

will reply in more detail asap, but +1 to this particular proposal. seller ust among the more essential props in schema; renaming does do more bad than good.

renaming newly added props may be viable, and a superprop, too.

also i think that schema will evolve more and more into a frame-centric model where the notion of global property names and definitions will be less important and less feasible.
