Election News Article Metadata and Schema

Schema.org Community Group,

New metadata and schema for election news articles can enhance election news search and provide users with improved dashboards. Initial ideas include metadata and schema for indicating: locations, elections, candidates, campaign/platform issues, and ballot issues.

Perhaps there could be a PoliticsNewsArticle or ElectionNewsArticle which extends NewsArticle, adding to the set of: AnalysisNewsArticle, AskPublicNewsArticle, BackgroundNewsArticle, OpinionNewsArticle, ReportageNewsArticle and ReviewNewsArticle?

Is there any interest in the Schema.org Community Group in enhancing election news search capabilities and improving election news dashboards?


Best regards,
Adam Sobieski
