schema.org Git hub issue

Identifying a course by provider and the code they use to identify a course allows searchers to find information about a known course, for example one on which they have already enrolled (use case 3, requirement o).

Proposal

The existing schema.org provider and offeredBy and property should be used to indicate who is making the course available.

courseCode a new property of Course is proposed, with expected type text and definition: The identifier used for the Course by the course provider (e.g. CS101 or 6.001).
