Schema for categories of awards or scores #198

Open vholland opened 9 years ago

From public-schemaorg@w3.org:

I am adding microdata to a dance studio's website and one of the pages lists results for the dance teams at various dance competitions. In addition to a numeric score, teams receive an award from a hierarchy class (ie silver, gold, or platinum) which is the most relevant description of the score.

http://duluthdancecenter.com/news.shtml#2015results

It would be helpful to have way to define "platinum" or "gold" as a score or award to avoid the possibility a search engine will include the dance studio page in searches looking for the literal use of the words. This is similar to the question raised in "other types of recipes".

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-schemaorg/2015Jul/0017.html

One possibility would be to have "Award" or "Score" be a more specific type of https://schema.org/thing same as https://schema.org/Rating. Rating would seem to work for this purpose if I define silver, gold, > or platinum a value of 1, 3, or 5 out of 5; however, the rating schema seems to be specific to the rating > of a tangible item rather than the results of a https://schema.org/SportsEvent.

It would be nice to have a general Award type to cover sporting events and other awards like the Academy Awards, Nobel prizes, etc.

Adding properties to http://schema.org/awards would be an advantage. In the example from the original post at public-schemaorg@w3.org:, The dance studio could attend an http://schema.org/SportsEvent the dance teams as a https://schema.org/competitor. The http://schema.org/awards could be a property of the team (competitor) and "name", "score", "rank" etc. could be properties of award.

Awards like the Nobel have a monetary prize associated with them so "prize" or "value" could be another property of "Awards".

Awards like Silver, Bronze or Gold in an Olympic event have a "Placement" value such as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Perhaps specific types of http://schema.org/awards with distinct properties for honorary vs. competetive placement awards would be useful.

We never got there with this. It shades off into ratings of various kinds. I'm tagging it to move to the suggestions-questions-brainstorming repo for now, but I do think there's more useful work to be done in this area.

See issue #7 for the context of the move from the main Schema.org issue tracker to this repository.
