RE: Proposal for Schema.org extension mechanism

Hi Guha,

I am new to this thread but do support your proposal.   FYI, we have started a working group to develop financial content based on FIBO to contribute to schema.org<http://schema.org/>.  We would therefore develop an extension e.g. fibo.schema.org<http://fibo.schema.org/>  to encapsulate and organize related financial concepts that might not necessarily fit within the schema.org<http://schema.org/> core.

Best,

I agree that we do have to look out for this.

I trust you will all keep us honest and make sure that what needs to go into the core does go into the core.

I’m still not convinced that the middle category (reviewed vocabularies) will be good for schema.org<http://schema.org> and web publishers. I am concerned that it will mean less work is done to integrate extensions into the core, and schema.org<http://schema.org> will become difficult to navigate and understand as a whole.

Luckily you don’t need to convince me to proceed with your plan :-)
