What do you mean by Asset? Vs what does schema.org mean by Product or Service? #8

Do you mean an individual instance of a Product or Service (or something else, maybe some Bitcoins)?

I think http://schema.org/Product means something different: I think they mean a Type, like an Amazon catalog item or an ISBN. Amazon will not ship you a Type, they will ship you an instance of the product shown on the page you ordered from.

When you receive the instance, you will have an Asset. So if that is what you mean by Asset, I think it is different from what http://schema.org/Product means. Their Service is more ambiguous and I have no idea what they have in mind. How would it apply, for example, to the software development services that Enspiral provides to their clients?

We are differentiating all this stuff in https://github.com/openvocab/ovn

Ping if and when you want to discuss.
