Thank you for your help! In the Web Schemas group, we maintain a list of proposed extensions to the schema.org project - see http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/SchemaDotOrgProposals and nearby Wiki. There is a proposal at http://www.w3.org/wiki/WebSchemas/Datasets with mappings to DCAT, ADMS and VoID. See aso http://logd.tw.rpi.edu/schemaorg_dataset_extension BTW if/when we could show reasonable consensus on such an extension for schema.org (and some support from publishers) I think it'd be a good candidate to add there. I don't yet have a good feeling for how all these loosely related vocabularies fit together... cheers, Dan
