Re: EOCred: recognition of credential

Thank you Nate. I understand your reluctance to accept unverified 
statements of recognition for your use cases and appreciate your 
agreement not to block their use for other cases (where I think 
verification can be by other means).

I don't think here is the right place to go into details of how our 
proposal would work with any future development of verifiable 
endorsements, but I think there are a couple of options: either using a 
pattern similar to that shown 
<http://blog.schema.org/2014/06/introducing-role.html> by Role 
<http://schema.org/Role> where an intermediate schema.org type can 
provide additional information about a relationship (the AlignmentObject 
does something like this too), or by creating new verifiedRecognition 
property. I am confident therefore that having recognizedBy as a 
property won't prejudice any future efforts to verify such a claim.

Regards, Phil.
