I have continued down this path, and believe our draft release branch (sdo-makemake) now restores proper order, repairing the various places in which v3.0 lost improvements (primarly from 2.1). The development site at webschemas.org is now serving from this branch. Please take a look at http://webschemas.org/docs/releases.html#1203 for an overview of the fixes and at the detail in https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/1203 I have combined an (rdf)diff-based investigation of changes in the data/schema.rdfa file with additional checks based on manual review of all the (docs/releases.html) documented changes since v2.0. It is possible that some small changes may have been overlooked but I am pretty confident that it undoes most of the damage we inflicted on ourselves. As ever, the more review that changes get the better so please take look if you have the time and expertise. I will spend the next few days looking for a few more "low hanging fruit" to include, before proposing a release candidate for 3.1 based on this branch. cheers, Dan On 17 June 2016 at 18:48, Dan Brickley <danbri@google.com> wrote: > 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.
