Re: Strategy for marking sections as "draft / abandoned / recommended by schemabibex / published at schema.org"?

Very well put Diane.

Hopefully as we progress from discussing potential proposals towards sharing best practice those dead ends should disappear.

As some who lived through the DCMI discussions on similar matters many moons ago (and the one whose experience sparked these discussions), I should point out that for a user, knowing that a document has been deprecated is only half the problem. The rest of it is "if this is a dead end, where should I be instead?".

Good ideas both.

I’ll look into enhancing the [minimal] labelling we have.

I also really like how the IETF RFC tool has a color bar at the top indicating the status (you can click on the bar to get the key to the colors).

That way it is more obvious even if you don't remember to look for the right text field.

Subject: Strategy for marking sections as "draft / abandoned / recommended by schemabibex / published at schema.org<http://schema.org/>"?

Hello:

Per Diane Hillman's blog post at
http://managemetadata.com/blog/2014/02/03/talking-points-report/ do we
want to standardize how we're publishing our work on the wiki? Just as
Diane was led down the wrong path initially with multipe pages around
holdings, I could envision other similar confusion in the future over
our historical article/periodical pages, etc.

I propose that we clearly mark at the top of each page the status of
the page; something like:

Status (<date>): <status>

Where <status> could be one of:

* "Draft"
* "Abandoned"
* "Recommended by Schema BibEx (best practice)"
* "Recommended by Schema BibEx (schema.org<http://schema.org/> extension)"
* "Published schema.org<http://schema.org/> extension"

Perhaps with some mediawiki-savvy way of tagging the page, as well, so
that we can survey the pages. (I'm not all that familiar with
mediawiki, so suggestions welcome!)

Thanks,
Dan
