These should not be considered final or definitive but please encourage the schema.org <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fschema.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cbwatt%40ebay.com%7Cf068f78ab833422d4e2308d94df568e9%7C46326bff992841a0baca17c16c94ea99%7C0%7C0%7C637626539142658005%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=irlgThuSJpyyU8lt2Won3aiKTYDJp7dUPfE6NHLI31g%3D&reserved=0> community to explore using this approach to describing products, i.e. this is a contribution to the project that we hope will help shape future definitions, especially in the product area. The content attached is an indicative subset of the kinds of fields we are interested in contributing to the project. We potentially have a lot more to contribute more systematically, if there is interest. Ebay both consumes and publishes large amounts of product data and we believe that improvements to schema.org <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fschema.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cbwatt%40ebay.com%7Cf068f78ab833422d4e2308d94df568e9%7C46326bff992841a0baca17c16c94ea99%7C0%7C0%7C637626539142658005%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=irlgThuSJpyyU8lt2Won3aiKTYDJp7dUPfE6NHLI31g%3D&reserved=0> in this area would benefit the entire ecosystem, allowing standards-based tooling, validation and descriptive definitions to be shared more widely, improving data quality and reducing friction and complexity. We hope that by sharing these examples, we can start a conversation about scaling up the expressivity of schema.org <https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fschema.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cbwatt%40ebay.com%7Cf068f78ab833422d4e2308d94df568e9%7C46326bff992841a0baca17c16c94ea99%7C0%7C0%7C637626539142668004%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=1Bnx9usc5MTqCF26qG57u7jEJIhHnZkIXO2PpXKlhCc%3D&reserved=0> . From eBay’s perspective, we’d like to license the shared information under Apache 2.0. I’ve copied Yossi and Starr (who is our point of contact for legal) both for visibility in the transition. It has been a pleasure working with you folks and hopefully we run into each other again. 😊 Thanks, Bill
