Hello everyone,

After looking at the property 'regulated by OCPA' for a while, I
concluded a couple of things:

* that the property applies to the vacancy rather than a job, because
the regulations
concern the recruitment process rather than the performance of the task;

* that it's possible that there may be other codes of conduct, or
regulations that govern
other appointments, so a reference is better than a true/false flag.

So as a consequence, I not only attached the new property to
ArgotVacancy, but I also made the value a URL, which can either be a
simple value from a list, or it could actually refer to the code of
conduct itself.

(The latter is obviously risky if people move things around, so I'd
like comments on whether or not this is a good approach.)

The property that I decided to use was dc:conformsTo; it's not
directly applicable, but since it's also not a million miles away from
what we want, I've gone with it. (I'm trying to create as a few of our
own properties as possible.)

But other suggestions are of course welcome.

A full example would be (the layout is an attempt to reduce the number
of lines that will split):

Regulated by
<a
rel="dc:conformsTo"
href="http://www.publicappointmentscommissioner.org/Code_of_Practice/ef8446f3551.html"
>OCPA</a>:
Yes

Regards,

Mark
