I've been continuing work on the proposed extended vocabulary... see here: [1] https://www.w3.org/wiki/Activity_Streams/Expanded_Vocabulary [2] http://rawgit.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/extended-vocabulary/activitystreams2.html [3] http://rawgit.com/jasnell/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/extended-vocabulary/activitystreams2-vocabulary.html The main thing you'll notice about this is that it's a *big* expansion of the vocabulary. The approach has been straightforward: dig through a ton of existing social web applications/platforms and identify the common artifacts, features, etc and if any particular item shows up in at least three separate implementations, it's added to the extended vocabulary. The goal here is to make it trivially possible to represent the most common social artifacts/actions without requiring a dependency on any one "External" vocabulary. Overlaps with other vocabularies (particularly schema.org/Actions) exist in this. Those overlaps are *intentional*. If folks want to use schema.org instead, go for it, there's nothing stopping you. Linked data mechanisms can be used to connect those together so that everything just works. - James
