Re: Schema.org Proposal for Organization Sector

oops, I nested the category wrong:

<div itemid="tour-operator" itemscope itemtype="
http://schema.org/Organization">
<link itemprop="additionalType" href="
http://www.productontology.org/id/Tour_operator" />
<span itemprop="name">Acme holidays</span>
<span itemprop="makesOffer" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer">
<span itemid="business-function" itemprop="businessFunction" itemscope
itemtype="http://schema.org/BusinessFunction">
<link itemprop="url" href="http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#ProvideService">
</span>
<link itemprop="category" href="http://www.freebase.com/m/07bxq" />
</span>
</div>
