In reading through your response, I didn't see one provided. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then I am happy to go to Harry and ask for his input. I'll give it another try. This time more to the point! Social data syntax - way to *express* social *interaction*. With focus on *possible actions* which later can get published as *past activities*. Descriptions of such interactions usually include * type/verb - what kind of interaction (eg. post, like, follow, ...) * status - current state of given interaction (eg. potential, active, completed, ...) * agent/actor - who *actively* participated (eg. Alice, Sam's dog, trackbot) * object - what agent/actor acted upon (eg. book, Bob, an apple) * participant - who also stayed involved (eg. Jane, a mouse, ...) * target/recipient - toward who/what agent/actor directed interaction (eg. book shelf, uncle Bob, ...) * result - what outcome it had (eg. a book, injury, ...) * instrument - what object got used (eg. hammer, pen, piano, ...) * location - where it happened (eg. Paris, Luisa's flat, Yellowstone Park, ...) * startTime/endTime - when it happened (eg. Sun, Sep 24th 3PM) You can find side to side comparison of terms above, as currently described in AS2.0 draft and Schema.org on Social WG wiki https://www.w3.org/wiki/Socialwg/Vocabulary_Comparison#as:Activity_.7C.7C_schema:Action To give a real world example, projects on github: https://github.com/w3c-social/schema.org-examples has potential actions: watch, star, fork also for its owners: transfer, delete, make private/public later: create issue, make pull request performing those actions show up as activities on project and people walls: https://github.com/elf-pavlik?tab=activity I hope this comes more helpful then my last reply :)
