FW: Schema.org v. 1.2. published, adding Potential Actions vocabulary.

Hi folks,

Schema.org just published their "Potential Actions" vocabulary. The best summary of what has been added can be found at

  https://www.w3.org/wiki/images/1/10/PotentialActionsApril11.pdf

While I'm not completely happy with everything [so there's still some work left for us :-)], I think it is a major step forward and agree with Dan that it is "the most interesting addition to schema.org since [its] launch".

I talked with Dan about giving Hydra some credits on those newly introduced concepts. The schema.org partners will decide on that shortly, but to make that possible, we have to agree to the terms of schema.org at http://schema.org/docs/terms.html. Since there's nothing in those terms that has any effect on Hydra, I'll send the agreement on the group's behalf in a couple of minutes.


Cheers,
Markus

... and we're done!

Sincere thanks once again everyone who has been part of these
discussions over the last couple of years. Today's publication builds
on the http://schema.org/Action types that we added last August by
providing a way of describing the capability to perform actions in the
future.

This new vocabulary is now integrated into schema.org as version 1.2
of the site, i.e. see

http://schema.org/potentialAction
http://schema.org/PotentialActionStatus
http://schema.org/PropertyValueSpecification
http://schema.org/ActionStatusType
http://schema.org/actionStatus
http://schema.org/EntryPoint
http://schema.org/ActiveActionStatus
http://schema.org/CompletedActionStatus
http://schema.org/PotentialActionStatus

At this time, the 'implementation target' PDF linked below provides
the most complete overview of the Actions mechanism. Although we've
lifted a couple of examples into the per-term documentation but given
the nature of Actions, the overview document provides the most
complete picture of how it all fits together. We'll migrate this into
HTML on the main site in due course.

This is perhaps the most interesting addition to schema.org since
launch. Thanks again to the members of the Web Schemas and Hydra
groups here at W3C, and to all those elsewhere who helped make this
happen.

cheers,

Dan, for schema.org.
