Latest changes to schema.org automotive extension after the community review process

Dear All,

It comes a bit later than I expected, nonetheless I’m happy to inform you that as the results of our discussions here we are now proposing the following changes to schema.org types and properties related to our automotive extension:

1. Description for http://auto.schema.org/emissionsCO2 has been changed, because there is no UN/CEFACT Common Code for g/km.Before:
   ‘The CO2 emissions in g/km. The property uses a number instead of a QuantitativeValue, since g/km is the dominant unit of measurement, and there is no UNCEFACT Common Code for g/km.’After:
   ‘The CO2 emissions in g/km. When used in combination with a QuantitativeValue, put “g/km” into the unitText property of that value, since there is no UN/CEFACT Common Code for “g/km”.’
2. The text “This should be considered a pre-final preview release; final changes may be made after wider community review.” has been removed from the extension home page.
3. “http://auto.schema.org/specialUsage” has been renamed to “http://auto.schema.org/vehicleSpecialUsage“.
4. http://schema.org/CarUsageType and its predefined instances:http://schema.org/RentalVehicleUsage
   http://schema.org/DrivingSchoolVehicleUsage
   http://schema.org/TaxiVehicleUsage

   have been moved to auto.schema.org.

There is also an issue being discussed on the GitHub whether http://schema.org/vehicleSpecialUsage should be in the core or in the extension. As soon as this is resolved and some errors related to this property range and domain, we will lunch the Pull Request that will end this phase of Community review.

Thanks to all for your remarks !
