I agree that a closedCaptioned property would be useful, but why limit it to VideoObject? It would be useful on MediaObject, and possibly even on CreativeWork (if users were looking for items that are captioned that don't have MediaObjects available online, like a TVEpisode or a captioned DVD). There was some effort in the group working on education (LRMI) to have a broad definition of accessibility, but it had to dropped in the interests of time. I think this is an area that would benefit from a more systemic approach. -- Peter Pinch Director of Technology WGBH Interactive office: 617-300-3961 E-mail: peter_pinch@wgbh.org On 3/2/12 11:22 AM, "Menagh, Trevor" <Trevor_Menagh@Comcast.com> wrote: >Hello all, > >I am working on a team at Comcast that is using the VideoObject from >Schema..org and would like to start a discussion on extending the schema >to have two new properties: > >closedCaptioned (Boolean) Whether this video has closed captioning >available. >packagingFormat (Text) Packaging format used (ism, hls, move, etc). > >closedCaptioned is self-explanatory. > >packagingFormat describes the format that the video object is packaged >in, as opposed to its encodingFormat.
