This class might help tease apart some of the cases: https://schema.org/CreativeWorkSeries Jeff From: Timothy Cole [mailto:t-cole3@illinois.edu] Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2016 10:45 AM To: 'Jacob Jett' <jjett2@illinois.edu>; 'Richard Wallis' <richard.wallis@dataliberate.com> Cc: public-schemaorg@w3.org; 'Han, Myung-Ja' <mhan3@illinois.edu>; 'Sarol, Maria Janina' <mjsarol@illinois.edu>; 'Kinnaman, Alex Olivia' <kinnama2@illinois.edu> Subject: RE: Suggestion for new category Taking Jacob's concern to slightly higher level of abstraction: We've been running up against questions regarding where to describe attributes of the 'production'. The play Macbeth is clearly a CreativeWork, and is a likely object of a TheaterEvent workPerformed predicate. A single performance of MacBeth, or arguably a continuous run of performances of MacBeth at the same venue, is a TheaterEvent. But there have been numerous productions of MacBeth which are developed over time (i.e., not just an event but a series of events often in different venues) that don't seem to fit Event, but also don't seem to fit CreativeWork and don’t seem quite right as object of workPerformed predicate. There is a similar issue for Dance productions, musical productions, etc. Comparing the list of CreativeWork sub-classes and Event sub-classes suggest a certain arbitrariness about which kinds of performance productions are Events and which are CreativeWork. There are seeming overlaps – e.g., http://schema.org/actor (property used with sub-classes of CreativeWork) vs. http://schema.org/performer (property used with Events). If there is a consistent distinction it seems to be availability of a MediaObject representation of the performance – commonplace for TV episodes, Radio episodes, Movies, etc., but of course this distinction is increasingly artificial as stills, audio and videos of plays, dances, music performances are increasingly commonplace. For now we're tending to use TheaterEvent rather than try to create a new CreativeWork sub-class, which does not seem the right solution at least for our use case. But perhaps there needs to be a new sub-class of Thing which would be better for expressing attributes of a production of a CreativeWork? -Tim Cole From: jgjett@gmail.com<mailto:jgjett@gmail.com> [mailto:jgjett@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Jacob Jett Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2016 9:26 AM To: Richard Wallis <richard.wallis@dataliberate.com<mailto:richard.wallis@dataliberate.com>> Cc: public-schemaorg@w3.org<mailto:public-schemaorg@w3.org>; Han, Myung-Ja <mhan3@illinois.edu<mailto:mhan3@illinois.edu>>; Sarol, Maria Janina <mjsarol@illinois.edu<mailto:mjsarol@illinois.edu>>; Kinnaman, Alex Olivia <kinnama2@illinois.edu<mailto:kinnama2@illinois.edu>>; Cole, Timothy W <t-cole3@illinois.edu<mailto:t-cole3@illinois.edu>> Subject: Re: Suggestion for new category Sorry, I think you misunderstand. I get how to attach the contributors to the various structures. That's not so difficult. The question is how to attach the contributions? For example, I have the stage notes for a particular performance of Vanity Fair. How does that attach to the Theatrical Event? Simply saying that the stage notes are 'isPartOf' completely loses the role that the stage notes play. There seems to be a need for some additional properties (which is the case anyway, as there is no difference between a Theatrical Event and an Event). _____________________________________________________ Jacob Jett Research Assistant Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship The Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E.

Much of the structure of this is availably via CreativeWork properties such as hasPart, isPartOf, exampleOfWork, workExample, plus the temporal aspects of Role that would allow you to associate individual contributors to specific stages of the process. Based upon established Schema.org patterns, I would advise separating the event (place/time) aspects from the Creative aspects. As to associating elements of the process that contributed to the combined work, but not part of the final play - I think that is down to how you describe those individual preproduction parts. Working on some examples as was done for Books, Articles, TVSeries & TVSeason, etc. would help work through these questions and help support a proposal for a Play type ~Richard.

However, if we go the 'isPartOf' route don't we loose the contextual component that set and costume sketches and photographs play in the development of the production? I.e., they are not parts of the finished work -- the play -- per se but are deeply involved in the evolution of a performance of the final product. Wouldn't it make more sense if they were parts of particular Theatrical Events, as just like the performers of said events, costumes and set designs can also vary from performance to performance of the same play. _____________________________________________________ Jacob Jett Research Assistant Center for Informatics Research in Science and Scholarship The Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 501 E.

I don’t really think the ’Stage’ qualification is necessary. Most of the properties you reference would be inherited from CreativeWork. The exceptions being some of the more specific contributors such as StageDesigner and WadrobeKeeper.

You could then connect the individual performances to the Play using TheaterEvent if appropriate using the workPerformed property.

Should we just extend the TheaterEvent with new predicates? Most if not all of those things would be CreativeWorks or subtypes thereof, in their own right and could be considered ‘isPartOf’ of the play. ~Richard On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 8:17 AM, Tim Turner <tturner@flumc.org<mailto:tturner@flumc.org>> wrote: There is a TheaterEvent that could be expanded from this list. https://schema.org/TheaterEvent<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__schema.org_TheaterEvent&d=BQMFaQ&c=8hUWFZcy2Z-Za5rBPlktOQ&r=npggDwlZ6PziBzPBZthSo0f8iGOgRMf9ulO6o4WwfiA&m=5tMndZFeOWtA7vej-9XwBZdhVTmH18Mj5t17yfmtpCo&s=aa63bKAMCvVjSnfsJFaXpaSAqbwat8spFGjc7owW85E&e=> From: Webmestre Globetrottoirs [mailto:webmaster@globetrottoirs.com<mailto:webmaster@globetrottoirs.com>] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2016 1:05 PM To: public-schemaorg@w3.org<mailto:public-schemaorg@w3.org> Subject: Suggestion for new category Hello, I am working on a theater group website. When trying to code micro-data, I felt that the following schema is missing. In the “Creativework” schema, could we add “TheaterPlay”, which would have the following properties : Name – expected type : text – description : the name of the play Author – expected type : text – description : the author of the play Director – expected type : text – description : the person who directed the play Actor – expected type : text – description : the actors of the play Character – expected type : text – description : the characters of the play Composer – expected type : text – description : the composer of the music used in the play Genre – expected type : text – description : the genre of the play (eg : musical theatre, gesture theatre, pantomime, …) StageDesigner – expected type : text – description : the person who designed the settings WardrobeKeeper – expected type : text – description : the person who designed or created the wardrobe. It could be also usefull to create schema related to dance or mime, etc… Do you think it is possible to do this ? Thank you for your answer. Sincerely. Stéphane Reboul
