Re: Next Meeting - Schema Bib Extend W3C Group - 17th October

Hi Jeff (and thanks to Gordon for the explanation!)

Interesting: we meant schema:Concept to be as close as skos:Concept. Why would it feel closer to frbr:Concept?

Note that the sub-classing of schema:Concept as sub-class of schema:Intangible is really open for discussion. If we realize that this sub-classing stands in the path of some FRSAD or SKOS uses, then let's get rid of it.

In my dev environment, though, I started the switch to schema:Intangible but wasn’t entirely happy with it. This proposal is much more satisfying.

The difference is subtle but real, IMO, and has to do with foaf:focus (with a range of “Thing” and inverse of madsrdf:isIdentifiedByAuthority) being a meaningful property for the latter (skos:Concept) but not the former (FRBR Concept). VIAF (which doesn’t currently attempt to identify FRBR Concepts) is probably the best illustration of the issues involved.

After BnF published Rameau in the LOD but also as web pages, one for each concept, I thought it will be useful to have an extension of Schema.org to make concepts defined in controlled vocabularies more visible by search engines.
