TVRadioSchema extension to schema.org

Hi Dan, all,

We had one last open issue about ranking episodes and other content resources using other than purely numerical values (e.g. as provided by the episodeNumber). EBU, MovieLabs and BBC have discussed the requirements and we have come with the following proposal, i.e. define a new "position" property, additional to episodeNumber. The "position" property is a string. This solution avoids changing the datatype of Episode Number.

;;;;;;;;;;
* Create new property called 'position' of type "string"

  with description "to define other than pure numerical ranking of an episode or other content resource in an ordered list of items (further formatting restrictions may apply within particular user groups)"
;;;;;;;;;;

Changes have been reflected in  www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/TVRadioSchema<http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/TVRadioSchema>

With these final changes, EBU, MovieLabs and BBC suggest that this is added to the next release (0.98?) of schema.org.

Best regards,

Jean-Pierre
And on behalf of Jim, Yves, and Raymond
