tl;dr: I propose adding http://schema.org/subjectOf as a named reverse property of http://schema.org/about. The domain would be http://schema.org/Thing and the range would be http://schema.org/CreativeWork and http://schema.org/Event.

There are lots of cases where the main subject of given page is a Person, Organization, etc and authors want to mention there is a work about that entity. It would be nice to have a "subjectOf" property to link to the work. (In JSON-LD, you can use @reverse, but there is no reverse mechanism in microdata yet.)

Well, there is a proposal for adding @itemprop-reverse to microdata. If that'd exist would you still want to add sujectOf?

Maybe @danbri or @chaals can give us an update about the @itemprop-reverse proposal?

Honestly, yes. Most authors I know get confused using @reverse in JSON-LD and resort to naming the reverse in the @context, so why make them go through the extra work.

"Most authors I know get confused using @reverse in JSON-LD"

I hear ya (really) and I'm not saying we shouldn't introduce subjectOf but the difficulty I have with the above statement is that IMHO it's an excuse many use for not making the effort of explaining how @reverse works.

Most I introduce it to are confused at first due to being completely unaware of the existence of a reverse mechanism, though I haven't encountered anybody who wasn't able to grasp it - after some explanation. Maybe a bit more guidance and education could do the trick already (through some schema.org notes, or even by having the sponsors state something about it in their webmaster guidelines).

If subjectOf is added then please include a comment to that and about on the reverse mechanism.

Am I correct to notice that there subjectOf is a superset of http://schema.org/WriteAction? I am just noticing that there appears to be nohttp://schema.org/SpeakAction or http://schema.org/RecordAction for the audio modality corollary to the written modality described in http://schema.org/WriteAction. I'm not sure where to make that remark.

I personally think the domain should be Http:/19/GIG-thing.org

please and thank you :) if possible or at least let me contribute since I have very personal intimate connection to the Iot device.

@danbri Hmm, why does "about" still show in pending ? Does pending view not get cleaned up by some process or manual intervention ?

@RichardWallis

@thadguidry there is a, probably too subtle, visual clue. Its colour is red, although other terms defined in extensions are blue.

about appears in the pending listings, because part of its definition (inverseOf subjectOf) is declared in pending.

Feedback: we've been using this at Google in various feeds-oriented settings and it seems to make markup more natural and idiomatic. I suggest we add it to core rather than continue the "about" (core), "subjectOf" (not core) split...
