Re: Schema.org and nested items

Hi Daniel,


Thanks for your answer !
So if I understand well, for example for this page :

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiktik.com%2Fprofil%2Fjocelyn-fournier-30&view=

you would change the ProfilePage about a Person to a Person page directly ?


And what about this kind of page :

http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiktik.com%2Fentreprise%2Fwiktik-2+&view=

Should I completely remove the ItemPage property and move the 
LocalBusiness property directly on the HTML tag ?

More generally, should we use ItemPage only if we want to tag an item 
which is not yet explicitly described in schema.org vocabulary ?



Thanks a lot for your help,
   Jocelyn
