RE: In AccessModeSufficient, could we eliminate the comma separated option?

Sorry, sent the last email too quickly. What I wanted to add is that schema.org doesn’t define a comma- or space-separated option. That’s a hack we had to do for EPUB. The expected type for accessModeSufficient is ItemList. That’s what the JSON-LD, RDFa and microdata examples show.

 

This is why I don’t really like showing EPUB examples in the vocabulary. We’re highlighting a hack. But if we take the examples out, we’re also avoiding addressing the biggest users of the metadata.

Hi George, I don’t think we can eliminate combinations, but having these as clearly separate sets is something we should encourage  

 

IE.

 

* [textual]

* [textual, visual]

 

Instead of having them all on some single line, where it would be confusing I agree

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Might we eliminate confusion by eliminating the comma separated option?

 

Textual, visual is too close to textual visual, and it means something completely different. By having them as separate entries, we might reduce confusion.

 

Best
