Add vocab to support markup of fact-checking sites #1061

@danbri

Description

@danbri

The following markup is proposed for use by a collaboration amongst fact-checking sites.

It adds vocabulary around Review to make more explicit when these are from fact-checking sites:

  • 1.) ClaimReview as a subtype of Review. "A fact-checking review of claims made in some creative work."
  • 2.) claimReviewed as a property of ClaimReview. "A short summary of the specific claims reviewed in a ClaimReview."
  • 3.) It uses the existing 'author' property on Review to indicate the organization behind the review.
  • 4.) It uses a new property, claimReviewSiteLogo on the (Claim)Review to indicate the fact-checking organization's logo.
  • 5.) It uses the existing itemReviewed property to indicate the document that carries the claims being reviewed (which could include as shown here, offline newspaper articles).
