Hi Juan,

To my knowledge, both crawl only a predefined list of vocabs.
Fortunately, Yahoo crawls standard vocabs, Google invented their own
That's correct, we understand a predefined list of vocabs. We try to
be "omnivorous" -- we're willing to consider any format that is A)
popular on the web or B) has reached some threshold of "doneness". We
even support ad-hoc formats like Facebook Share for video.
Austin is the live music capital of the world, so
imagine the amount of music and event data on websites. If I use the
music
ontology to mark up the data, will Yahoo crawl this and potentially
use it
in their search results?
You have to ask Yahoo :-)
It would be great to have a music ontology, as we have Yahoo! Music
and Yahoo! Upcoming (an event website -- many of which are concerts).
Make a real, solid music ontology, and we will strongly consider
supporting it.
There has been a solid Music Ontology available for a few years [1] :-)
What is the best vocabulary for events (venue,
time, description, price)?
For events, I don't know. There is an austrian initiative, but it is
still pretty much alpha.
I believe the Event Ontology covers most of this (bar GoodRelations
meshing, which a recipe can be drawn up for etc.) [2].
As for the price: GoodRelations. Because, again an important
distinction: It is not the event that has a price - it is a ticket
(permission) to attend the event that has a price ;-)
We support a basic event template.[2] Event + pricing would almost
certainly be what Martin suggests -- some combo of our existing Event
template + GoodRelations for the ticket product inside. But we have
some homework to do on that one. :)
As per earlier comment, a recipe will be knocked up for that as per
usual re. growing GoodRelations recipes collection [3] .
