Re: Adding a gtin12 property to schema.org ? (based on existing gtin8, gtin13, gtin14)

Thanks all. I've just added it - http://sdo-gozer.appspot.com/gtin12

This is queued up in the looming gozer release, draft release notes:

Thus GoodRelations defined only GTIN-8, GTIN-13, and GTIN-14 and recommended converting 12-digit UPC codes to GTIN-13 by simply adding a zero at the beginning. But if GTIN-12/UPC is here to stay, it is better to have a property for it.

From all I read, adding a gtin12 property makes sense. And we already have gtin8, gtin14, gtin13 in http://schema.org/Product. In for a penny, in for a pound.
