Re: Tourism Schema

If the goal is mainly to contribute to schema.org, I am still sceptial about just another W3C CG. We need more six-sigma pull requests and less committees and consortia in schema.org. And such pull-requests must always be in line with the schema.org model as a whole, so they require a deep and continuous interaction with the other contributors to schema.org. It does not help to sit aside, develop a proposal, and THEN try to make it match schema.org.

If the goal is to work on many additional Web vocabularies for tourism and other foundational issues of Web-based tourism, a W3C CG might be useful.

By the way, for hotels and other accommodation-related data, we have a pretty mature proposal in the making, see

    http://sdo-hotels.appspot.com/Hotel
    http://sdo-hotels.appspot.com/docs/hotels.html

Will finalize the missing documentation and examples asap and then share it officially.

Best

Martin

Having a easy-to-identify place to agree on these matters could bring in actors involved in the tourism industry (hotels, managers of national country tourism organizations, etc) whose support would be key to make the vocabulary gain traction.
