OpenWEMI and schema.org example

[renevoorburg]

In https://dcmi.github.io/openwemi/ this RDF (snippet) is suggested as an example for alignment between openWEMI and schema:

"@type": [
"openwemi:Item",
"schema:IndividualProduct"
],

A bit problematic here is that schema:IndividualProduct is also a schema:CreativeWork, suggesting that the openwemi:item is also an openwemi:work. Or am I mistaken here and is the thing about openwemi not to be too strict in these matters?

Hi @renevoorburg, thanks for commenting.

I'm not sure what you mean by "schema:IndividualProduct is also a schema:CreativeWork": that's not asserted in schema:IndividualProduct. Do you mean that we imply it?

Anyway, that aside, I don't think there would be a problem in a schema:CreativeWork being a openwemi:Item because "Work" in schema:CreativeWork shouldn't be taken as implying Work in the WEMI sense. schema:CreativeWork is the "The most generic kind of creative work, including books, movies, photographs, software programs, etc.". That already encompasses at least Expressions.

Indeed properties like exampleOfWork came from the Schema Bib Extend W3C Community Group using schema:CreativeWork and subtypes of it, along with IndividualProduct, for Work and Expressions/Manifestations/Items (as in this example) (The key decision is recorded here)

Sorry, you are right. I thought that the schema:IndividualProduct class was a subclass of schema:CreativeWork but that is not the case. And indeed if it were, that shouldn't have made the example incorrect. Sorry for bothering you. René

Sorry for bothering you.

Not at all @renevoorburg, thank you for the opportunity to clarify and nudging me to dig up that example. I'll leave it to @kcoyle & the rest of the group to decide whether to close this issue or whether there is some extra documentation we should add as a result of it.

OK, I did a wiki entry relating to using openWEMI with schema.org. I would really like to create some complete examples of instance data, but that's quite a bit more work.

Comments and suggestions are welcome!

I like that, thank you. Phil
