Just to be clear, schema.org does not have any required properties. Google's validation tool helps authors integrate with Google's features. Authors should assume: 1. Other consumers of schema.org data, including search engines like Bing, Yahoo, and Yandex may use the markup differently and therefore may have stricter or more lenient requirements. 2. Google's requirements may change as Google changes features. While it may be useful to add new Event types for "virtual" or "distributed" events, the major search engines may not immediately make use of this schema. - Vicki Vicki Tardif Holland | Ontologist | vtardif@google.com On Thu, Aug 6, 2015 at 12:33 PM, Rafael Richards <rmrich5@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Chaals, team - > > I concur with the need to have a general term for location-agnostic, > "distributedEvent" - and not to go beyond that to anything specific. > > Such a gernal term would apply and online events of any kind (for both > work and play), including Teleconferences, Webinars, Collaborative > coding, onlineGames, etc. > > > +1 for keeping things simple and general > > > Rafael > > > > On Wed, Aug 5, 2015 at 10:54 AM, Chaals McCathie Nevile < > chaals@yandex-team.ru> wrote: > >> On Tue, 04 Aug 2015 11:35:24 -0400, James Bjork <jimbjork361@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> >> Hi Jon, >>> >>> It does seem that a specific "onlineGame" event would be most useful. >>> The specific https://>schema.org/UserInteraction event allows start and >>> end times and validates with Google's Structured >data testing tool with >>> out a postal address; however, it's not clear to me that this is an >>> intended >use of the vocabulary. >>> >> >> I'm a bit more inclined to suggest something like virtualEvent or >> distributedEvent (or both) than something as specific as onlineGame. >> >> Telphone conferences across time zones, mulitsite concerts like the Band >> Aid events of the 1980s, theatre festivals encompassing multiple events... >> >> cheers >> >> Chaals >> >> -- >> Charles McCathie Nevile - web standards - CTO Office, Yandex >> chaals@yandex-team.ru - - - Find more at http://yandex.com >> >> >
