Subject: Additional Object Types
To: activity-streams@googlegroups.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

In addition to working on new verbs, I have been working on a number
of new common object types.... many of these are adapted from the
schema.org collection of objects... essentially, these are schema.org
objects adapted to the Activity Streams serialization and data
model...

Each of these are presented as the objectType label and a series of
additional properties specific to each. Each object type would also
inherit the basic properties for all Activity Streams objects as
defined in Section 3.4 of the JSON Activity Streams spec..
(http://activitystrea.ms/specs/json/1.0/#object)

I offer these for general review. Feedback is requested and very welcome.
