Re: Music schema proposal

Simon,

I would see that as a failure of the search implementation, and not a limitation of the schema. In your example, it was not a case that Hancock was not associated with the work, it’s that Scherzo didn’t have a default search that included producers in its search corpus - you had to go to the Advanced Search. It is probably my individual bias, but I see structured data, and its schemas, as a way to particularize the data and it’s up to the consumers (Google, et al) to determine what to do with it. JM2C

This lack can be made up for by adding domain specific intelligence to all consumers of the data, or in some cases by falling back to full text search, but is not ideal.
