Hi Adam,
This ;ooks great. I have nothing to add. Sterling job tying together several threads.

    Hi Folks, here's a first draft at an ESIP Winter session for extending 
    schema.org for dataset temporal coverage

    TITLE: Extending the schema.org definition of Temporal Coverage for Datasets
    
    SESSION TYPE: Working Session
    
    Describing datasets on the web with schema.org markup has has proven to 
    be a beneficial experience for discovery of data being initiated through 
    a major search engine.? While schema.org vocabulary describes most 
    aspects of a dataset fairly well, it does not cover all use cases found 
    in the geosciences.? However, schema.org was designed to serve as a core 
    vocabulary which communities of practice could extend through some 
    well-defined pathways.
     ?As a result, there is an opportunity for publishers of data on the web 
    to develop extensions in areas of importance.? One area that could 
    benefit the community is a dataset?s temporal coverage.
    
    In this session, we propose to:
    
      * Look at the current schema.org Dataset definition for temporal coverage
      * Brainstorm about use cases not covered by schema.org
      * Brainstorm about how OWL Time Ontology, SWEET Ontology & other
        existing ontologies can help inform an extension
      * Draft a schema.org extension, hosted in ESIP?s Github.
