View source for Identify that an object is a educational occupational credential

{{navigation}}
Many of the use cases require that we be able to to identify that an object is an educational / occupational credential. 

'''Discussion:''' EOCred: Addressing requirements from use cases [https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-eocred-schema/2018Jan/thread.html thread from Jan 2018].

==Proposal==
Create a new schema.org type for educational / occupational credentials. The proposal is that this be a subtype of CreativeWork, though this may be subject to further discussion. There is also a possibility that a more general Credential supertype be created (the work of the [https://www.w3.org/community/credentials/ W3C Credential Community Group] is relevant here).

'''Name:''' EducationalOccupationalCredential

'''Subtype of:''' [http://schema.org/CreativeWork CreativeWork]

'''Definition:''' An educational or occupational credential. A diploma, 
academic degree, certification, qualification, badge, etc., that may be 
awarded to a person or other entity that meets the requirements defined 
by the credentialer.

'''''Note:''''' For those familiar with the [https://www.imsglobal.org/sites/default/files/Badges/OBv2p0/index.html Open Badge specification], this type is broadly similar in scope to the [https://www.imsglobal.org/sites/default/files/Badges/OBv2p0/index.html#BadgeClass Badge Class].
