“Real World” Application
“In order to arrive at a useful schema, it is necessary to take into consideration the educational criteria that K-12 publishers and educators value.”
June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board
www.lrmi.net
LRMI has balanced this at tagging level that is comfortable and achieves “scale”
05 Sept 2012
“Real World” Application
“There needs to be a property to indicate the main subject area (aka curriculum area) of the product.”
June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board
www.lrmi.net
‘about’ property in Schema.org accomplishes this goal
05 Sept 2012
“Real World” Application
“Requiring publishers to correlate their products to state or Common Core standards discriminates against publishers who cannot afford the cost and/or time to do so.”
June 15 posting to LRMI discussion board
www.lrmi.net
NO REQUIREMENT, ONLY OPTIONS. In theory, the standard form of tagging should reduce the cost, especially if CCSS is focus of alignment
