Re: An initial proposal for bib.schema.org

Has anyone considered incorporating the work done by the RDA Registry 
group into this proposal? <http://www.rdaregistry.info/Elements/>
Best regards,
Tim

Subject:        An initial proposal for bib.schema.org



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 with the current working name of 
bib.schema.org.

Since then I have been liaising with Dan Brickley and others in the main 
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 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.
