Re: Reusing "status" property from the health-lifesci extension

Thomas,

I'd prefer that your group also spend extra time to try to see where
alignment can also happen with http://schema.org/Action
which has a http://schema.org/actionStatus

The http://schema.org/status is for Event based or MedicalStudy based.

I think you have 2 levels to deal with in this discussion.
Legislation is aligned with 1. Events and 2. Actions.

1. Events
Yes, we all agree there are Events that happen during Legislation, but your
use case for legislationLegalForce / Status is, I think, closer to that of
http://health-lifesci.schema.org/status where you want to hold a final
status of the Legislation, treating it as a produced document...just as a
MedicalStudy is a produced document. or perhaps
http://schema.org/eventStatus

2. Actions
However you also have Actions as well...
During the course of getting it to the final produced document...there will
be various Actions and their statuses... and that's where you could use
http://schema.org/actionStatus

Give this some more thought.
