sdo-phobos

Organization
and a

2.0
sdo-gozer
(2015-05-12)
Version 2.0 consolidates and integrates schema.org's existing vocabulary. This version features many updated definitions, type/property associations and term names that
improve consistency and usability. It also introduces a new
extension system
Version 2.0 adds various new terms including
mainEntityOfPage
and major contributions from the
Automotive Ontology community
Vocabulary
Issue #262
: Added new vocabulary for
Car

The new vocabulary includes a number of properties such as:
numberOfAirbags
numberOfAxles
numberOfForwardGears
fuelConsumption
fuelEfficiency
vehicleEngine
EngineSpecification
...
Thanks to Martin Hepp, Mirek Sopek, Karol Szczepański and
others
in the
Automotive Ontology
community group.
We
anticipate
substantial additions that build on this foundation will be contributed as an
extension
Issue #301
: Added a generic property/values mechanism, building upon
PropertyValueSpecification
StructuredValue
and
value
; added
PropertyValue
and
additionalProperty
. See
examples
for usage. This is a lightweight
mechanism to allow markup of properties that are not easily mapped to existing schema.org properties. Whenever possible, it is generally better to use a dedicated schema.org property if one exists.
Issue #301
: Added
mainEntityOfPage
(and an inverse,
mainEntity
) to indicate which of the entities mentioned in a page is its primary topic.
Issue #225
: Added a
schemaVersion
property, for use by applications that require more precise referencing of schema versions.
Issue #266
: Added
OrderItem
to allow
ParcelDelivery
to be tracked per item, not just on an entire
Order
Issue #170
: Clarifying CommentAction, Comment by deprecating UserComments. Several mentions of UserComments removed from other terms. 'inLanguage' supersedes 'language'. Added a
resultComment
property. UserInteraction and sub-types will be deprecated.
Issue #300
: Answer is now a sub-type of Comment. The 'question' property expects 'Question' type for its values (rather than Text as in AskAction previously). Added resultComment on ReplyAction. Cleaned up examples.
Issue #130
: Amended
True
and
False
to be instances (rather than sub-types) of
Boolean
Issue #218
: Amended
DataType
to model it as a sub-class of Class, with each datatype e.g.
Boolean
Text
Date
DateTime
Time
etc. being classes that have a typeOf
DataType
. DataTypes can have sub-types, e.g.
Integer
and
Float
are subtypes of
Number

as parallels to
TVClip
and
RadioClip
Issue #122

gtin12
property for

cheatCode
gameServer
gamePlatform
playMode
and
gameTip
properties, plus a few supporting types. A property
softwareHelp
has also been added to
SoftwareApplication
to indicate supporting documentation.
While integrating
VideoGame
an issue was
raised
around the need to describe series of games.
As a result we have made some changes to the
Series
type, which previously emphasised only
TV and Radio Series: added
VideoGameSeries
BookSeries
, and
MovieSeries
. The recently added
Periodical
type is also now modeled as a
Series
subtype. Some redundant
type/property associations were also tidied up. The existing
trailer
property can now be used with
VideoGame
and
VideoGameSeries
Added

1.91
(2014-09-12)
Offer/price documentation fixes, cleanup and community contributions.
Updated text of the
price
property to include practical usage guidance, alongside
links to information from GS1 to the gtin-related
Offer
properties.
Updated
all our examples to follow that guidance; primarily by using priceCurrency and the content= attribute.
Noted our
thanks
to the
OpenDomain
project for our domain name.
Updated
the text of the '
image
' property to match its expected types. Thanks, Dan Scott.
Changed
spelling of 'supercededBy' to the more
conventional
supersededBy
. Thanks, Sachini Aparna Herath.
Noted
that '
logo
' and '
photo
' are sub-properties of '

'. Thanks, Sachini Aparna Herath, again.
Fixed
two syntax errors in examples (Store opening hours RDFa; Book, PublicationVolume Microdata). Thanks, Gregg Kellogg.

1.9
(2014-08-18)
Bibliographic improvements (Periodical and more) alongside seller/broker/provider clarifications.
Several bibliographic improvements, thanks to the work of the
W3C BibExtend Community Group
Improved handling of
Periodicals, Articles and Multi-volume Works
introducing types and supporting properties for
Periodical
PublicationVolume
and
PublicationIssue
. Adds new
Article properties
pageStart
pageEnd
and
pagination
CreativeWork
gains a convenience inverse of
isPartOf
called
hasPart
, as well as a new pair of inverses,
workExample
and
exampleOfWork
that link specific and general perspectives on creative works. Many thanks to
all the
BibExtend group members
, to Richard Wallis
for chairing, and to Dan Scott for implementing.
Provider/Seller vocabulary: this update also clarifies how to use a set of related terms, integrating sections of schema.org that had developed
separately. Full details are documented
at W3C
and
in Github
, alongside an
overview document
The
provider
property describes a service provider, service operator, or service performer, while
seller
describe the entities which sell or offer a service on behalf of an actual service provider. We
introduce a more general
broker
property (replacing the over-specific
bookingAgent
),
as well as deprecating
vendor
and
merchant
in favour of
seller
Regarding
flights
and
parcel delivery
carrier
is
superseded by
provider
. Please also note that
flightNumber
should now be written in full (i.e. "UA110" rather than just "110").
See the
supporting documents
for details.
Finally,
episodeNumber
seasonNumber
and
clipNumber
(for TV/Radio) have been harmonized with the periodicals design
issueNumber
and
volumeNumber
). In each case, both
Integer
and
Text
values are anticipated. A common superproperty,
position
can also be used. This
reflects
implementation experience
and
establishes a model that can be applied elsewhere, e.g. ongoing work on
describing
music.
This update also improves the display and navigation of
supersededBy
relations between
schema.org properties (e.g. see
seller
).
The
document was also updated to note
that
Yandex
is now a schema.org Sponsor and to adopt the patent terms used by W3C.
announcement
1.8
(2014-07-28)
Added
WebSite
type; broadened
isPartOf
property.
Added a new CreativeWork type,
WebSite
: "A WebSite is a set of related web pages and other items typically
served from a single web domain and accessible via URLs." Also adopts the suggestion made by the
BibExtend
group and other
collaborators, to broaden the
isPartOf
property, which now relates any CreativeWork to any other CreativeWork.
This release also makes the Potential Actions documentation
available
in HTML.

property, noting that
ImageObject
is a
reasonable value. It also adds an
organizer
property to
Event
. Changes around
Map
: we add and prefer a '
hasMap
' property
which supersedes the older 'map' property, and we add a
mapType
property which comes with some enumerated values:
ParkingMap
SeatingMap
TransitMap
VenueMap
. A Map might be (but needn't be) also an
ImageObject
announcement
1.6
(2014-06-16)
Role
s, various fixes, site navigation improvements.
This release introduced the notion of a
Role
type to schema.org. See the
blog post
for details. The Role mechanism applies across all of schema.org, and allows simple statements to be elaborated or
qualified, for example with temporal information. Other changes in this release include the addition of a
license
property, and some documentation of properties used internally by schema.org's documentation system
Property

Not-for-profit Offer and other fixes.
This version adapts the wording around the
Offer
type to suit non-profit scenarios,
such as libraries. Thanks to Dan Scott and the BibExtend group for these proposals.
This change broadens the definition of
Offer
and makes associated changes to
ItemAvailability
and
OfferItemCondition
, typically rewording "the item for sale" to
simply say "the item". The
itemOffered
property is now defined more
appropriately as "The item being offered." rather than "...sold.". The "
seller
property is now defined as "The organization or person making the offer.", a compromise to support
its use for more kinds of offer.

Added
additionalType
property.
Added
additionalType
property (
wiki
).
"An additional type for the
item, typically used for adding more specific types from external
vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between
something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is
better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for
multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of
extra types, in particular those defined externally."

Added
Medical/Health
vocabulary.
This release added substantial vocabulary in the medical/health domain (around 100 classes, 200 properties). The additions are
mainly organized beneath the
MedicalEntity
type. An
overview document
is also provided. From the
blog post
"This collaborative project drew upon search expertise from the schema.org partners but also gained immeasurably through feedback from expert reviewers including the US NCBI; physicians at Harvard, Duke and other institutions, as well as from several health Web sites. Contributions from the W3C Healthcare and Lifesciences group and Web Schemas community also helped bridge the complex worlds of Web standards, search and medicine/healthcare."

Removed plural 's' suffix from repeatable properties; added

type, SoftwareApplication vocabulary.
Added new properties per Singularity
proposal
23 changes: actor, album, attendee, award, blogPost, colleague, contactPoint, employee, encoding, episode, event, founder, map, member, parent, performer, photo, review, season, sibling, significantLink, subEvent, track.
Each of these originally had a plural 's' to indicate repeatability. After discussion in the W3C WebSchemas group, the consensus was that
this was confusing and worthwhile changing.
This revision added a new type, '
Comment

Converged URL/Url spelling. After WebSchemas discussion, consensus was:
For each of embedURL, contentURL, downloadURL, ensure there is an equivalent property named with mixed-case: 'embedUrl', 'contentUrl', 'downloadUrl'.
