Hi Vicki ! Yes, you are absolutely right , we are limited with more accurate types in Schema.org ! <rant> The problem is that we don't have Types for many of the long-tail domains that folks are interested in. In other ontologies, those Types are available. So using a bit of Schema.org and its basic disambiguating properties like sameAs, additionalType, etc. are available to help folks go much further sooner, than having to wait 3 years for a new type to land in our beloved Schema.org. <done rant> Which is why for folks that are looking for answers in the meantime, I help provide some clarity with their use cases with what is available currently. -Thad On Thu, May 31, 2018 at 5:01 PM Vicki Tardif <vtardif@google.com> wrote: > One thing to consider is that if only the properties of schema.org/Thing > are provided, the more important it is to have an accurate type.
