The video
property is currently not defined for Brand
or Thing
, its for CreativeWork
or variants.
subjectOf
looks like the most appropriate use in Schema.org. Perhaps we can instead add this use case to https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1670 in order to move that forward and out of pending?
In the meantime we could add it to our context rather than defining a new custom property.
My comment on this would be: given that the web platform is moving towards native video in general (it's already there in HTML5), schema.org should allow video
in the same way as it does image
on the Thing
type.
I can see why it's tempting to classify a video as a CreativeWork, and link it loosely with Event, however we should then do the same for images for consistency and use subjectOf
to access both from Event... I suggest we should be looking for consistency in the other direction instead.
Also using subjectOf
to access videos (or images) is much less intuitive to a data consumer.
The general consensus of https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1447 and with evidence here seems to be in agreement with this, and there's even a pull request that already exists to do this too.
Noting continuing discussion here: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/1774
