Re: Comic Book - further work - Was: Re: Relationships to Art - Was: Schemabibex Group entering a different phase

The GCD has long talked of having a creator table and a role relation.  Although I like contributor better as a generic term (the GCD's "creator" table includes people one wouldn't normally think of as having a creative role, i.e. "Managing Editor" or other business positions.

I'll take a look at the linked reading, thanks!  I'm definitely still interested in where this goes and helping where I can.

thanks,

This will be a much more flexible approach for handling contributor roles across schema.org if it is accepted, and could heavily impact the Comic Book extension... hopefully that will play out over the next week or two.
