To contribute:

Join the Healthcare Schema Vocabulary Community Group
All materials for developers are in Github repository: https://github.com/twamarc/ScheMed. You will need to clone it
Please before read the threads/discussion history here: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/11 ; as some idea you wish to raise may have been already discussed!!!

4) For suggestions of new properties/classes, edits, etc:

Please raise the issue here: https://github.com/twamarc/ScheMed/issues and announce this on @public-schemed mailing list
Each issue needs at least 5 supporters (or votes) to be discussed on the agenda.
To post or create an issue, just go to the page at right upper corner, below the tab “Tools for this Group” click on the fourth item “Issues” .
You will be re-directed to Github page where you can read existing issues and you can create a new one.

5)One the issue is discussed on the agenda, the decision is taken by consensus and in a worst case by votes requiring absolute majority.

An action point will be created to ask the contributor to prepare and commit an RDFa file which will be added to the extension.
The contributor who submit an issue will be the assignee guiding discussions on it, the group chair being only a moderator.
The contributor who submit an issue will be the one to prepare an RDFa file once due, of course he can delegate.

6)All commits (done in the extensions data file) not following the procedure above mentioned will be automatically reverted.

7)We have 3 mailing lists to use on this community group page:@public-schemed; @public-schemed-contrib; and @internal-schemed.

To use one of them or to post a message, just go to the page at right upper corner
below the tab “Tools for this Group” click on the first item “Mailing list” and
on the appearing list click on one of the mailing list you want to post to. You will get a window where you can post your message.
