RE: Project vocabulary

Hi Dan, all,

I don't if this falls into that discussion but EBU maintains vocabularies at 

www.ebu.ch/metadata/cs (xml)

www.ebu.ch/metadata/cs/web ( the same in HTML)

or

http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/skos/ (the same as above in SKOS/RDF)

Interesting :) Can you give some examples of relatively mainstream /
popular / sizable sites that already expose pretty much this
information in public HTML pages, i.e. that would be good candidates
for adopting such markup extensions?

That's a fairly generic answer, but I think a useful step for anyone
thinking about schema.org extensions. There are so many directions in
which we could grow this thing, so a natural filter is "would new
vocab help publishers annotate existing content, or does it require
new content too?".

cheers,

Dan
