In Sindice, use just the term 'Document' or 'News' for the class and it will select classes whose URIs/labels (I'm not sure which) contain that term. An alternative interface would be one like Wolfram Alpha's, where labels for the classes of matches are listed for a user to choose from. > Also, for > software like that, what vocabulary is used isn't really relevant, since > it is blind to the semantics. Yes, precisely. > What I meant is what software consumes the non-schema.org vocabularies > specifically? Google and Yahoo! consume the rdf.data-vocabulary.org vocabulary, GoodRelations and at least some parts of FOAF. On the client side, as well as generic plug-ins in which vocabulary isn't relevant, there are a few GoodRelations plugins for Chrome and Firefox, for example, get hold of the GoodRelations Amazon Checker for Chrome [1] and go to a BestBuy listing page such as [2] and you should see a pop-up appear in the bottom left with links to Amazon pages for those products. As far as I can tell, that's the current state of working consumers of the non-schema.org vocabularies used in the use cases I listed where multiple types were given for single items. Are you also interested in vocabularies and consumers where the vocabularies overlap with schema.org and there are web pages using the vocabularies, but the web pages don't currently contain markup using more than one type?
