Re: schema.org 1.0a revision: LRMI, Datasets, Audience, Technical Publishing vocabulary and more.

Did anyone answer Paola's question? I've missed it on the list.

I think the answers would be a good addition to the schema.org web site.
There's a difference between updating a schema (which Paola asks about and
is a murky process based on my experience) and extending it (which is
described on the site).

Thanks,
Jeff
