From Roy Swift on June 26, 2017:

Endorsement – Giving a formal approval or strong recommendation to something in a public manner and often requiring a signature from an authority.

Recognition – An acknowledgement, appreciation, or acclaim or indicating a validity of an achievement, service, or ability.

[stuartasutton]

As verbs:

endorses: A formal approval or strong recommendation to something in a public manner and often requiring a signature from an authority. endorsedBy: An agent providing a formal approval or strong recommendation to something in a public manner often requiring a signature from an authority.

and (term revisions)...

recognizes: An acknowledgement, appreciation, or acclaim or indicating a validity of an achievement, service, or ability. recognizedBy: An agent providing an acknowledgement, appreciation, or acclaim or indicating a validity of an achievement, service, or ability.

@stuartasutton Would we want to tweak those to use the "agent being described"/"resource being referenced" style of writing we use all over the rest of CTDL?

Also, does this come down to modifying the definitions of recognizes/recognizedBy, and creating new "endorses" and "endorsedBy" properties? What about "endorsedIn", "EndorseService", and "EndorseAction"?
