Building a Web of Objects at Yahoo!
We'd like to share a link to a recent set of presentation slides by Peter Mika, Ralph Rabbat, Philip Bohannon of Yahoo! The talk by Ralph Rabbat was part of the Industry Track during October's International Semantic Web Conference in Bonn. Slides (in .pptx format) are linked from the conference site and describe some work they're doing that relates to schema.org. This presentation covers some aspect of Yahoo's work in semantic web both from engineering and research aspect. Please, feel free to connect directly with the authors if you have any comments/questions. The other Industry Track presentations, and materials from the wider conference; are worth checking out too.

Using RDFa 1.1 Lite with Schema.org
As a result of our continued discussions and collaborations with publishers, implementers and standards-makers, we're pleased to give advance notice of a new way of adopting schema.org's structured data vocabulary. W3C's RDF Web Applications group are right now putting the finishing touches to the latest version of the RDFa standard. This work opens up new possibilities also for developers who intend to work with schema.org data using RDF-based tools and Linked Data, and defines a simplified publisher-friendly 'Lite' view of RDFa.
Early adopters can follow the in-progress drafts (rdfa-core, rdfa-lite) while the W3C group work through the remaining details. We hope that our support for 'RDFa Lite', alongside Microdata, will allow publishers to focus more on what they want to say with their data, rather than on the details of its specific encoding as markup. We also want to take a moment to thank the members of the RDFa community for taking on board our feedback; making standards is hard work, and we believe this latest version of RDFa is a major contribution to the Web of structured data.

Schema.org support for job postings
We’re happy to announce that schema.org, working together with the United States Office of Science and Technology Policy, has added support for marking up job postings on the web.
Leveraging this markup, the US Veterans administration has created a search widget that is accessible across a growing number of federal websites including nrd.gov and whitehouse.gov, to find job listings from veteran-committed employers.
We feel privileged to have played a role in enabling this. More details can be found in the US CTO, Aneesh Chopra’s post on the White House Blog.

Yandex now supports schema.org markup
One of the primary goals in creating schema.org was to simplify structured data markup requirements for content creators across search engines, which we hope will drive greater adoption across the Web. In that vein, we're very happy that Yandex has announced its support for schema.org. In addition to being a major consumer of schema.org markup, Yandex will be increasingly contributing to discussions about the evolution of the schema on the W3C-hosted Web Schemas group, and they are also investigating translation of the schema.org website to local languages. It's great to have growing support for the schema.org markup around the world!

W3C "Web Schemas" group is our new public feedback forum
Our Discussion Group will be moving to the W3C forum, which will use the public-vocabs@w3.org mailing list.
The Schema.org Google Group will not be completely shut down, however we do encourage all discussion of vocabulary, schema and deployment practicalities to move to public-vocabs@w3.org mailing list. These are also linked from the Documents page.
This comes out of a plan for closer collaboration between Schema.org and other related efforts. The Web standards organization W3C has created two related task forces of its Semantic Web Interest Group that are relevant for Schema.org. One is devoted to the technicalities of syntax and other one, "Web Schemas" is for vocabulary discussions. We have decided to adopt this forum as a new home for Schema.org feedback, since it provides a natural connection point to related efforts from other groups and communities.
The W3C group is open to all, and will have a Wiki and issue tracker to help organize feedback; not only for Schema.org but for other Web Schemas who are interested to collaborate. We hope this will give rise to collaborations, mappings and shared modeling styles.
Looking forward to greater opportunities for collaboration.
