RE: An initial proposal for bib.schema.org

Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll create a JIRA ticket to change these from schema:publisher to schema:manufacturer.

Thanks Jeff,

But are we doing ‘stuff libraries have’ or ‘bibliographic stuff’ here? I’m not convinced that this group is the right place to discuss how schema.org<http://schema.org> describes toys. I note that the toys on WorldCat have a ‘publisher’...

Owen,

For example, here is a list of toy dogs that are cataloged in WorldCat:

Why “Toy”? Doesn’t seem like this should be part of a bib extension?

Hi all,

A few weeks back we discussed how this group or some of its members could participate as a bibliographic domain group to propose and review a bibliographic extension to schema.org<http://schema.org/> with the current working name of bib.schema.org<http://bib.schema.org/>.

Since then I have been liaising with Dan Brickley and others in the main Schema.org<http://schema.org/> group who have been working to establish the hosting software that enables the extension capability.  This work is now close to being ready for release.  Dan has indicated that this provides an excellent opportunity for a bibliographic extension to be one of, if not the first, enabled and released in this way.  In preparation for this, Dan Scott and I have put together a candidate set of types and properties that could constitute an initial bib extension release, which this email introduces.

There are many potential candidates for new/enhanced types and properties which the finessing and accepting of which would need to be the subject of some in depth discussion within this group.  To take advantage of the opportunity to release along with the capability release, however, we need to agree a starting subset fairly quickly.  To that end Dan and I have drawn up this initial (1.0) proposal consisting of what we believe to be things that are fairly noncontroversial.

I list the proposed types and properties below with links to their representation in a development version of the Schema.org<http://schema.org/> site.  They are in three independent groups of proposals, for general bibliographic markup; some helpful things for the physical structure of archives & basic collections; and for comics.

We can accept/reject either individual types and properties, or a whole group, because we need to explore things in more depth and defer things to a later release.  I would hope though that fairly quickly we could come to at least a subset of these as an initial release.

A reminder that Dan Brickley is still working on the software capable of handling extensions so please view the content more than how it currently displays.
