(Afraid I haven't time at the moment to go through the history properly, so if this point has already been discussed, please ignore) I looked at the Event construct with a view to potentially reusing it in the context of projects. But there's a slight problem: Event is associated with a time and a *place*. While in practice it may still be possible to use the term without assigning a place, it seems a little untidy. There is already a bit of messiness as it stands: an Event could be a meeting, right? In what Place does a teleconference or Hangout happen? I think it would be desirable to redefine Event solely as something that happens at a particular point in time, allowing the term to be reused much more widely. I don't believe this would break any current uses. YMMV as far as logical interpretation of schema.org terms is concerned, but in one universe at least, decorating a time-only Event with a Place seems a lot more sensible than assigning a time+place Event a null place. €0.02 Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com http://webbeep.it - text to tones and back again
