Re: Property to designate parent entity

Hi Liam:

> In trying to add schema.org markup to my content, I have found something that I think should be added to the schemas. A Place should have a property for operated-by or owned-by to designate an Organization as being the owner or operator of that place. This is like the inverse of the ___location property of Organization. Allowing more than one entry would allow for a Place that is under shared ownership.
> 

Note that the meaning of the "___location" property for schema:Organization is a bit unclear; it seems to represent the place or address *of* the entity, but not stores or branches or other points of service *operated* by the organization. For the latter purpose, GoodRelations provides this off-the-box:

http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasPOS

It links any schema:Organization, schema:Person, or gr:BusinessEntity to a schema:Place or gr:Location that the subject is operating.

So you can say, as of now, using the full property URI "http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasPOS":

<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
  <h1><span itemprop="name">Beachwalk Beachwear & Giftware</span></h1>
  <span itemprop="description"> A superb collection of fine gifts and clothing
  to accent your stay in Mexico Beach.</span>
  <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
    <span itemprop="streetAddress">3102 Highway 98</span>
    <span itemprop="addressLocality">Mexico Beach</span>,
    <span itemprop="addressRegion">FL</span>
  </div>
  Phone: <span itemprop="telephone">850-648-4200</span>
  <div itemprop="http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#hasPOS" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
	  <h2><span itemprop="name">Beachwalk Beachwear & Giftware</span></h2>
	  <span itemprop="description"> A superb collection of fine gifts and clothing
	  to accent your stay in Mexico Beach.</span>
	  <div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
	    <span itemprop="streetAddress">3102 Highway 98</span>
	    <span itemprop="addressLocality">Mexico Beach</span>,
	    <span itemprop="addressRegion">FL</span>
	  </div>
   Phone: <span itemprop="telephone">850-648-4200</span>
</div>
