It emerged (post release, regrettably) that schema.org 3.0 included a number of unintended reversions, i.e. we lost some of the improvements from 2.1. This was related to the large set of changes we made while moving the medical/health vocabulary out into a health-lifesci extension. I take responsibility for this, and will put some more careful review steps in place for large scale changes in future. I'm also looking with Richard Wallis at adding further unit tests that could warn us of unintended changes. The issue and a proposed set of fixes are documented in https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1203 - I'd appreciate any additional review and sanity checking. My approach to fixing this was to use an "RDF diff" tool and manually compare all the claims in v2.2 versus v3.3. A summary of the fixes I have made is at https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1203#issuecomment-226833017 and the candidate content is now online for review via our development site, webschemas.org. My preference would be to get this material out asap as v3.1, perhaps accompanied by some reasonably obvious and quick vocabulary fixes (suggestions welcomed on that point too). cheers, Dan
