Re: Add New Specific Type to LocalBusiness Schema

IMO, you can address this use-case by modeling the business entity using the closest availabe subtype of LocalBusiness and and attaching a schema:Offer with a textual description of what your business does. This way, you can represent in as much granularity as you want what your business is offering. The type-hierachy-based modeling of the nature of a business is very limited anyway, so I am not in favor of adding anything but the most popular categories of businesses there.

The key thing I think this schema would do is allow the activity provider display their catalogs on the SRP, similar to how airlines display their flight schedule when people are searching for flights between two cities.
