schema.org 1.0a revision: LRMI, Datasets, Audience, Technical Publishing vocabulary and more.

Excuse this brief note; I'll write more in a week. We've just
published a revision to schema.org including substantial new
vocabulary that improves

The new version is numbered 1.0a indicating that this is approaching a
full 1.0 release but that we still have a few additions to make before
we declare we're at a full 1.0.

The 1.0a additions are considered stable, but we will fix any bugs or
problems that implementors encounter during this 'soft release'.
Additions include the Datasets vocabulary, LRMI for
education/learning, technical publishing vocabulary, more vocabulary
for describing Audiences, and some supporting utility terms for
describing schema.org types, properties and their inter-relationships.

I won't attempt here to list everyone who contributed to these new
additions (it deserves a blog post), but thanks for all your hard work
and patience. There are plenty more additions still in the pipeline
and I look forward to following this announcement with work towards a
1.0b update. In the meantime please share any feedback, issues etc on
the WebSchemas and LRMI lists.

http://schema.org/docs/full.html as always has pointers to the full vocabulary.
For LRMI, http://schema.org/AlignmentObject is the main type,
alongside additions to http://schema.org/CreativeWork
For Datasets, we added http://schema.org/Dataset and some nearby types...
