Schema.org support for recurring events

[ldodds]

Schema.org doesn't currently handle recurring or scheduled events. There has been a number of discussion and proposals but not have yet been finalised.

For our use cases we need to publish and share the schedule and not just the individual sessions.

The proposal is to document a general purpose schedule property as suggested here.

[ldodds]

Submitted a proposal for further discussion here: schemaorg/schemaorg#1457

[ldodds]

After discussion this proposal turned into a pull request which has been moved into Schema.org.

schemaorg/schemaorg#1693

The terms will initially appear in the "pending" section of Schema.org and will be merged in after further testing.

Leaving this issue open to cover any further work/revisions required before the schedule support formally becomes part of Schema.org schema.

Summary: "byDay": "2TH" should be allowed; byDay should accept string as well day enum

Hi @ldodds ,
At imin, we break event schedules up into their respective individual occurrences (A event that occurs daily has 5 occurrences for example). Because of this, having schedules without an endDate is a problem for us as they go ad infinitum, and it feels a bit lazy on the provider's part. Any way we could make endDate mandatory along with the other mandatory fields such as startDate, startTime, and frequency?
