Finacial pages markup

[ciznerguy]

I was wondering if there is away to use Schema for stock market pages?

If you find a way to do this, please let me know!

I researched this earlier in the year and there wasn't anything available (though I'm not looking for stock market mark-up but mortgage product mark-up - but still financial products). I did email Schema to suggest they made something available for financial products. I guess the more people who ask for it the more likely it'll become available?

I would also be very interested in having this kind of markup. (Maybe I'll send an email too...)

Hi Guy. The Corporation schema is probably best suited to markup for publicly traded companies: http://www.schema.org/Corporation as it has the following uses...

tickerSymbol: The exchange traded instrument associated with a Corporation object. The tickerSymbol is expressed as an exchange and an instrument name separated by a space character. For the exchange component of the tickerSymbol attribute, we reccommend using the controlled vocaulary of Market Identifier Codes (MIC) specified in ISO15022.

duns: The Dun & Bradstreet DUNS number for identifying an organization or business person.

legalName: The official name of the organization, e.g. the registered company name.

And a few others.

It may be a question of using some Extension markup to better indicate the nuances of stock quotes. For example, maxPrice and minPrice could conceivably be used for High and Low price quote values, while price/open could reflect Opening price quote, and price/close the close.  With those you'd have the structure of an OHLC bar.
