+1 I would just add, for those not familiar with Offer <http://schema.org/Offer> a *Thing* [an EducationalOccupationalCredential in this case] can be the subject of multiple *offers*. Also Offer has an offeredBy <http://schema.org/offeredBy> property linking to the offering organisation or person. These enable use cases of an organisation offering the same *EducationalOccupationalCredent**ial* at differing costs to different subjects with differing eligibility and; 3rd parties listing disparate organisations offering the same *EducationalOccupationalCredent**ial*. ~Richard Richard Wallis Founder, Data Liberate http://dataliberate.com Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/richardwallis Twitter: @rjw On 26 January 2018 at 10:40, Phil Barker <phil.barker@pjjk.co.uk> wrote: > I want to try and keep some momentum by doing some of the quick and easy > use cases while we discuss the more difficult ones.
