==Proposal for OrderItem and parcelDelivery addition to the Orders Schema==<br />
<br />
This page tracks a proposal to update the Orders Schema. This update has been discussed first [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2014Jan/0161.html on the public vocabs mailing list].<br />
<br />
==Overview (extracted from the mailing list)==<br />
<br />
The current Orders Schema has some drawbacks:<br />
* Many merchants such as Amazon, CDiscount or La Redoute handle status at the order line level: one item can be "Processing" while another of the same order (ordered in the same time) is "In Transit". In the current Orders Schema, the status is stored at the Order level, not at the Order item level, so it's impossible to represent case explained above.<br />
* In the current Orders Schema, there is no notion of quantity for an order item. However, in almost all e-commerce platforms, a customer can order several times the same "Offer". (For instance, you can buy 3 t-shirts with SKU ABCDE).<br />
* The Orders Schema does not include shipment details. However, a ParcelDelivery type already exists and a reverse property from Order to ParcelDelivery is sufficient.<br />
<br />
==Vocabulary==<br />
<br />
See the RDFa file for details.<br />
<br />
The main additions / changes are:<br />
* The new type Thing > Intangible > OrderItem<br />
* Two new properties on Thing > Intangible > Order<br />

<div>== Proposals for Schema.org ==<br />
<br />
* See [https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webschema/file/default/schema.org/ext schema files] for specific RDFS+RDFa needed by schema.org.<br />
<br />
This page attempts to offer a canonical list of public proposals for [http://schema.org/docs/full.html schema.org vocabulary] extensions and improvements. We also have an [http://www.w3.org/2011/webschema/track/ issue tracker] to monitor concrete actions, bugfixes and workflow, and the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/ public-vocabs]@w3.org W3C mailing list for discussions. Sometimes proposals evolve from offlist and face-to-face discussions; when possible, advance warning of 'expected' or possible proposals can be indicated here. ([http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2012Feb/0102.html announced 24 Feb 2012]).<br />
<br />
* Editor: Dan Brickley (danbri@danbri.org). <br />
* Status: Feel free to update the table for accuracy and detail, but discuss status-oriented changes with the editor to avoid confusion.<br />
* If you add a proposal, please also mail the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/ public-vocabs@w3.org list] to start a discussion (and link it from here)<br />
<br />
Proposals should include ''markup examples'' as well as vocabulary definitions, and should point to related and prior work. It is also important to give examples of real sites that have suitable content. See [http://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/W3CWikiNotes#Posting_Markup_examples Posting markup examples in W3C wikis] documentation for details on how to post examples here. <br />
<br />
Schema.org proposals can take any form during discussions, but ultimately they should take the form of HTML+RDFa schema definitions; some real examples are in the webschemas area of the [http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webschema/file/default/schema.org/ext W3C Mercurial repository].<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When preparing a proposal, we need to know for each type and property, its name and description, alongside examples of usage. There are lots of different ways in which these can be prepared: wiki pages, text files, spreadsheets, PDFs etc. Do note that each property is considered as a global entity, ie. a property called 'foo' gets just one description - you can't give different descriptions for its use with the "Person" type, versus its use with the CreativeWork type. <br />
<br />
To search just these proposals, the issue tracker and schema.org-related mailing lists, try a [http://www.google.com/cse/home?cx=003736913799082383568:c44bi0_xxek this custom search].<br />

<br />
== Proposals and Discussion ==<br />
<br />
These proposals are working towards inclusion in [https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webschema/raw-file/default/schema.org/drafts/changes.html changes.html], the file that serves as a log of changes, and for communicating requested changes to the schema.org administrators.<br />

== Brainstorming, Use Cases and Advance Notice ==<br />
<br />
The following topics are under discussion in the Web Schemas Schema.org community, but are not yet approaching specific proposed designs or broad consensus on an approach. Note that this distinction is pretty fuzzy, but some partitioning was needed here due to the number of proposals we're seeing. There is no shame in being listed here rather than as a proposal above!<br />

This page attempts to offer a canonical list of public proposals for [http://schema.org/docs/full.html schema.org vocabulary] extensions and improvements. We also have an [http://www.w3.org/2011/webschema/track/ issue tracker] to monitor concrete actions, bugfixes and workflow, and the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/ public-vocabs]@w3.org W3C mailing list for discussions. Sometimes proposals evolve from offlist and face-to-face discussions; when possible, advance warning of 'expected' or possible proposals can be indicated here. ([http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2012Feb/0102.html announced 24 Feb 2012]).<br />
<br />
* Editor: Dan Brickley (danbri@danbri.org). <br />
* Status: Feel free to update the table for accuracy and detail, but discuss status-oriented changes with the editor to avoid confusion.<br />
* If you add a proposal, please also mail the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/ public-vocabs@w3.org list] to start a discussion (and link it from here)<br />
<br />
Proposals should include ''markup examples'' as well as vocabulary definitions, and should point to related and prior work. It is also important to give examples of real sites that have suitable content. See [http://www.w3.org/2006/tools/wiki/W3CWikiNotes#Posting_Markup_examples Posting markup examples in W3C wikis] documentation for details on how to post examples here. <br />
<br />
Schema.org proposals can take any form during discussions, but ultimately they should take the form of HTML+RDFa schema definitions; some real examples are in the webschemas area of the [http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webschema/file/default/schema.org/ext W3C Mercurial repository].<br />
<br />
'''Note''': When preparing a proposal, we need to know for each type and property, its name and description, alongside examples of usage. There are lots of different ways in which these can be prepared: wiki pages, text files, spreadsheets, PDFs etc. Do note that each property is considered as a global entity, ie. a property called 'foo' gets just one description - you can't give different descriptions for its use with the "Person" type, versus its use with the CreativeWork type. <br />

The following topics are under discussion in the Web Schemas Schema.org community, but are not yet approaching specific proposed designs or broad consensus on an approach. Note that this distinction is pretty fuzzy, but some partitioning was needed here due to the number of proposals we're seeing. There is no shame in being listed here rather than as a proposal above!<br />
