Many thanks, Greg, for your helpful answers.  The LRMI FAQs page was definitely helpful.

I think I may still have a case for the inclusion of some additional attributes in the LRMI schema, but before I do, I have some additional questions.  If you feel that it would make more sense to answer them in your FAQs page, that would be perfect. Thanks so much for your patience with this.

Here goes...

1. It seems that the' alignmentObject' of the 'educationalAlignment' property contains a 'targetUrl' (URL of a node in an established educational framework).  Is the URL required?  What if a publisher does not have their product correlated with an "established educational framework"?

2. Regarding the 'targetUrl' of the 'AlignmentObject', how does a publisher deal with this if they *do* have a product that correlates with, say, two dozen individual standards in an educational framework?  Do they need to put all those URLs in the property tag?  What would be the best practice in this case?

3. Can you give us a code snippet of the best syntax for creating a tag for 'educationalAlignment' with 'AlignmentObject' with 'alignmentType'?

4. How would you handle a 'Subscription Length' property of 'digital' (online) products?

5. You mentioned that inserting these schema properties in 'meta' tags is not necessary, helpful or useful.  What is the best practice, then?   Is it to use a 'span' or 'div' style to incorporate the property?  If so, can you give us an example of the syntax?

6. For a product page, is it best practice to use a particular tag to define an association with a property and it's value only once on the page?  Or does it improve things to add the same property/value in multiple (strategic) places.  If multiple is the way to go, what are the best practices in terms of where to locate the duplicate properties/values?

7. Related to the above question, does it make sense to simply put all the schema tags in one group, say at the top of the page?  Or should they be spread out and located near the keywords that have the value associated with that property?

8. What was the rationale for including the 'typicalAgeRange' property included in the LRMI schema?  Couldn't this also be a part of the 'about' property or the 'alignmentType' property of the 'AlignmentObject' used to describe the 'educationalAlignment'?

I may have more questions after seeing your answers, but this will go a long way to getting us LRMI "newbies" up to speed on the schema. I apologize if these have been previously answered elsewhere.

Many thanks again for putting up with all this.  It's important that I get up to speed quickly on this as the publishers with whom I work are pushing me to give them some answers about how it will affect them and how it will be done.

Cheers,
Monty
