Re: How well recognized / parsed / handled are composite types?

Hi,

For another way of modelling data with external types, you may also
wanto to take a look at this property: http://schema.org/additionalType.

"An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more
specific types from external vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a
relationship between something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa
syntax, it is better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof'
attribute - for multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker
understanding of extra types, in particular those defined externally."

Greetings

Umut
