Motivation

How to make Schema.org work for you A story from the library

• Librarians …– Really understand their domain and their data– Good at cooperation

• Early Schema.org – Useful but not good enough• Form a W3C Community Group – Schema Bib Extend• Identified public data sharing use cases – Knowledge Graph• What can't you do with Schema as it is?• Fill in the gaps• Create real examples• Proposed enhancements to core vocabulary• Proposed more focused extension – bib.schema.org• A few iterations – 2 years

How to make Schema.org work for you

• Automotive– W3C Automotive Ontology Community Group– Some minor enhancements to Vehicle– auto.schema.org extension

• Medical – Early large addition to core vocabulary– Moving much of it to a health.schema.org extension

• Sports / News / TV & Radio– General additions to core vocabulary
