Hi all—
Glad to see those of you who could join the call yesterday. For those who missed it, the minutes are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1AxNv1ybEaMMonAF_rvASxry8GvyIpdzFsj8VBBk1Ggk/edit
One of the items we talked about was Schema.org actions. This is a vocabulary that allows a resulting action from the descriptive data. So, for instance, library books have a “borrow” action, so that when you find a volume, Google can provide a link directly to borrow a book (look in the knowledge panel on the right): https://www.google.com/search?ei=8EVdXaGvKI2Y_Qaf56fYDw&q=brown+girl+dreaming&oq=brown+girl+dreaming&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l10.113834.117426..117638...0.2..1.386.1441.18j3-1....2..0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i67j0i131j0i10.7AVsaMxuJKY&ved=0ahUKEwih583jh5TkAhUNTN8KHZ_zCfsQ4dUDCAo&uact=5#ba_cen=lat_e7:%20389071923%0Alng_e7:%203524598589%0A&ba_loc=Washington%20D.C.,%20DC
Does anyone on this list have thoughts about which actions might be appropriate for archives? Or have a specific use case that the actions vocabulary might address?

I like the idea of BorrowAction for reading room use, but I wonder if something more generic (and less loaded?) like a RequestAction might work. RegisterAction also seems like a reasonable starting point as well.
