I had conversation lately with Tantek Çelik on #microformats IRC. Mostly about: http://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld/#microformats He pointed out that major search engines support microformats for quite some time: http://microformats.org/wiki/search I have few questions here: 1. Can search engines clearly list which vocabularies, other then schema.org, their support (or which subsets of them)? IMO collaboration with http://lov.okfn.org might come helpful. 2. Do you have strategy on when to just support external vocabulary and when to integrate them into schema.org namespace? Example: http://blog.schema.org/2012/11/good-relations-and-schemaorg.html 3. If some independent vocabulary gains broad adoption. How would process of adding support for it look? Especially if some Types overlap and properties collide. Examples: * https://web-payments.org/specs/source/vocabs/commerce.html * http://jasnell.github.io/w3c-socialwg-activitystreams/activitystreams2-vocabulary.html I don't expect anyone having clear answers to any of those questions! On a process side I would suggest moving conversations fine tuning particular vocab terms to github issues, and just announce bigger changes here with invite to related issue/pull request. Besides keeping better track on them, this would lower volume of traffic on this list and allow more space for interesting conversations about environment of *WebSchemas*. Including schema.org, microformats, activitystrea.ms and many others listed in lov.okfn.org Cheers!
