Fwd: Collection / Container / List (+Pagination)

My understanding of Product, within the context of schema.org<http://schema.org>, is broader than that.  Something that is result of an action or process.  Not necessarily having an economic role.

Pushing that definition to an extreme I would suggest that a lump of rock is a product - maybe the result of a geological process, or divine intervention.

The Container subtypes I suggest are all physical items, that a person/organisation would/could have purchased or produced to put things in.  Pushing to the other extreme someone or a software application would make a directory/folder to place files within.

Perhaps a slight rewording of the description of Product might help, if folks agree with my understanding that is ;-)

Hi Richard,

To my understanding it means:
"Every instance of a Container is also an instance of a Product"

I really don't understand where this comes from?!

http://schema.org/Product

"Any offered product or service. For example: a pair of shoes; a concert
ticket; the rental of a car; a haircut; or an episode of a TV show
streamed online."

Which sounds to me like something having clear economic (or e-commerce)
role. Which I don't think includes all the possible instances of Container.

Thanks for clarifying little more your reasoning behind it :)
