Re: Minimal WPUB for a scholarly paper (of sort)

It's not they "wouldn't be able to" (i.e. "weak"), it's that they won't without a good incentive.


If you test with the Google Structured Data Testing Tool [1], you'll still get the same number of errors [2].


This happens because Google isn't (understandably) "learning" things on the fly nor is it attempting "understand" the provided `@context` if it doesn't ultimately map into the Schema.org space.


So, this works (but it's all the wrong "meaning"):

```

"@context": ["https://schema.org", {"publ-resources": "http://schema.org/url"}],

```

So, they do support "multiple contexts" (as in they parse them), but they don't support additional vocabularies beyond Schema.org (afaict).

However, that doesn't mean there isn't value to *others* (like other software or the publishers themselves) for using other terms, it's just that they won't show up in a search at Google.com.

Cheers,
Benjamin

Is Google so weak? Can't believe it...

This was an option that I pointed out as well during the meeting. Given the fact that we'll need terms from bib.schema.org<http://bib.schema.org/> as well (and probably other vocabularies as well), this feels like a good approach.

The main issue with rolling our own context seems to be that Google wouldn't be able to properly parse and index these metadata.
