Dear all

please find below a proposal for an alignment of BOT to Schema.org

Great initiative, Georg.

I am not so sure about all these specific building types like hospitals, fire stations etc. Yes, a hospital is typically a building. But it could also be multiple buildings. And in general, I think schema.org is mainly focusing on the (public) function of the thing and not the fact that it's a physical asset.

We have had the discussion before with regard to building products. Is a window a bot:Element when it is still at the store? In these discussions the conclusion was that it becomes a bot:Element because it is a bot:adjacentElement to a bot:Zone.
