It’s a good question. Schema.org is open to considering extensions via the public-vocabs list, but they tend to favor those that can be accompanied by bulk instance data. OCLC should be able to help by enhancing the WorldCat.org Linked Data with these proposals, but there are plenty of other players in this group who can and should be presenting their data this way also. In some cases, like Collection, the need may be so obvious across domains that all Schema.org needs is a formal suggestion and some useful examples.

Thanks, Jeff, for sharing the information.  Do you have any thoughts on what you feel still needs to be accomplished before you delve further into moving the proposed ontology-based structural elements into the proof-of-concept stage?

 Tom,
 
 It might help to look at "Collection", which is "Ready for proposal":
 
 http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Collection

 
 We haven't mocked up how this would affect Schema.org's vocabulary
 specification, which is currently located here:
 
 http://schema.org/docs/schema_org_rdfa.html

 
 We do provide some clues, though, in the form of proposed subclasses and
 suggested domain, range, and descriptions.
 
 http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Collection#sub-classed_to

 
 In this case, we gave some examples are given in Turtle:
 
 http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Collection#Metropolitan_Mus

 eum_of_Art_Collections_and_items_.28Turtle.29
 http://www.w3.org/community/schemabibex/wiki/Collection#The_Lord_of_the_

 Rings_Trilogy_.28Turtle.29
 
 Search engines will want systems coders to embed this kind of data in
 HTML using RDFa, but if they want to see what that might look like
 somebody could run the Turtle through a tool like
 http://rdf-translator.appspot.com/.

 
 Does this help?
 
 Jeff
