I posted the story because, egged on by Google's 'Rich Data Cards' item in their search console, I finally snapped and I thought that I'd try it on one of my sites.

I am not encouraged by lots of handwaving in various docs, apparent schoolboy errors in (eg) Google's examples, and apparent incompleteness in the spec for such things as temporalCoverage (can an open-ended and still-continuing data set be indicated with "temporalCoverage":"20140721T10:13Z/" ?).

Turns out that the open-ended temporalCoverage thang is an open issue (and I may have correctly guessed the 'right' answer):

In a way what I learned with my 30 year-old AI degree was that meaningful semantic networks are hard ("is A", anyone?) but I'd have thought that some of these basics would have been nailed in a practical schema by now!
