Add legislationProposedOnly property on Legislation #65

Open debsidian opened 4 years ago

To indicate that the content is a only proposed legislation and not passed legislation.

Boolean key/value pair: "legislationProposedOnly": "true" "legislationProposedOnly": "false"

This way legislators and candidates can put forward policy proposals without any need to create a new schema.org subtype.

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

I agree on the need to capture/describe draft legislation; but maybe not on the proposed solution. As a reference : ELI-DL is an ontology to describe "draft" / "proposed" legislation, just published in a first stable version. In ELI-DL we have chosen to create a completely separate type to clearly distinguish between the enacted legal corpus and the not (yet) enacted texts, otherwise there is a risk for data consumers to mix both. Not sure we need to do the same in schema.org. If a simple property is added, I would rather rely/extend "creativeWorkStatus" rather than introducing another boolean.

This can open up a can of worms because the next step would be to describe the legislative projects themselves (like a random EU procedure page)
