Sure, if schema.org's ultimate purpose is to promote data understanding and interoperability -- as opposed to a crowdsourced mechanism for the major search engines to get entity attributes -- then I agree totally the question of data model becomes essential. As the earlier SKOS discussions nibbled at, my own preference (in this instance) is RDFS. Mike On 10/24/2013 11:42 PM, Peter F.
