But Martin is saying that http://schema.org/Product should be used for Services as well ? "Plumbing" or "A/C Repair" or "Plastic Surgery" is the same idea as "Keratin Treatment". To turn those into Products just feels and looks very wrong. http://schema.org/Demand has the businessFunction property to hold the "repair" but then ... Where does the concept of "Plumbing" or specifically "Plumbing Repair" or "A/C Repair" fall under a http://schema.org/Demand or elsewhere ? Even I do not see the correct correlation to a Service "Keratin Treatment" versus a specific Product like a "Blue stripped T-Shirt" at H&M, I will admit.
