I agree that NGO \= non-profit, but non-profit also \= charitable organization. Depending on the country, NGO's and non-profits are divided differently. This Wikipedia article gives an idea of the enormity of this category: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-governmental_organization (I had no idea that BINGO, TANGO, BONGO and DONGO, etc., existed!) One could create a few high level divisions and use productOntology for details if needed, although many types here do not (yet) have Wikipedia pages of their own. kc On 7/6/13 4:12 AM, Web Schemas TF Issue Tracker wrote: > webschema-ISSUE-23 (danbri): No Organization subtype for Non-Profit > > http://www.w3.org/2011/webschema/track/issues/23 > > Raised by: Dan Brickley > On product: > > Julie Setbon asks, "Under http://schema.org/Organization what would a non-profit group fall under ? An NGO is a non-governmental organization which to me is not the same as an independent 503 tax exempt or other non-profit grass roots movement." > > > > > > -- Karen Coyle kcoyle@kcoyle.net http://kcoyle.net ph: 1-510-540-7596 m: 1-510-435-8234 skype: kcoylenet
