Yes, that sounds right. There might be cases where enrolment to the live stream is different to enrolment to the in-person course, in which case they are definitely distinct CourseInstances. There might be examples where the live stream were considered an integral part of the CourseInstance--we haven't yet discussed how to use relationships like hasPart and subEvent to describe the components of Courses and CourseInstances, but modelling the live stream as a separate CourseInstance which is a subEvent of the main CourseInstance seems a valid option. > - If my assumption is right the wording might be made clearer. Maybe > phrasing it something like this: > - a course "may be offered as distinct instances at different times > taking place at different locations or through different media or > modes of study" OK. I think that might leave an ambiguity for instances taking place at the same time in different locations or at different times at the same location. I'll change to a course "may be offered as distinct instances which take place at different times, or take place at different locations, or be offered through different media or modes of study" --which is a bit long winded but clearly separates the cases. > - "An instance of a Course offered at a specific time taking place > at a specific lcation or through specific media or mode of study or to > a specific section of students." > And I'll rephrase this similarly Many thanks, Phil > All the best > Adrian > > Am 19.08.2016 um 11:09 schrieb Phil Barker: >> Hello all, >> >> this is a request to approve the proposal that the most stable parts of >> our work so far into the core of schema.org.
