Here's an example:
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/master/data/ext/pending/issue-1156.rdfa

plus examples of term usage in this format
https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/master/data/ext/pending/issue-1156-examples.txt

others: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/tree/master/data/ext/pending

How are your drafts represented currently?

Dan
