We've just posted an update to schema.org as v1.7. There are three small schema improvements in this release: 1) Adding http://schema.org/organizer As various people have requested, we now have an 'organizer' property for events. 2) Changes around http://schema.org/image As long intended, we note that an ImageObject is a perfectly reasonable value for the 'image' property. Previously we only listed URL as the expected type for that property. It is still most useful to use the 'image' property with an URL, but for example you might want to also include properties of the ImageObject inline. 3) Changes around http://schema.org/Map Some improvements around Map: we add and prefer a 'hasMap' property which supercedes 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. There are also a few little fixes to the site codebase, including to the per-term embedded RDFa/RDFS information which is now proper RDFa 1.1. Also - of interest to people collaborating on schemas - the software will now read multiple files containing schemas and examples. Thanks to Richard Wallis for the suggestion. This should make it easier to use github(*) to explore ideas in parallel and then integrate them for testing without running into conflicts. Coming next: I hope we'll be making progress on BibExtend, Music, Sports and VideoGame in the very near future... cheers, Dan (*) e.g. https://github.com/danbri/schemaorg
