Re: Discussion about previous proposal

Yes - this proposal was published well over a year ago and Schema has moved
on since then.

We will need to review it in context of the upcoming 3.2 release.

Thanks @danbri for the comment about MTEs and additionalType.

In jsonld you would see:

{
   “@context”: “http://schema.org”',
   “@type”: [“Map”, “ArchivedItem”],
   “name”: “An Old Map of Interest”,
