I usually add schema.org in div or other tags and also check them with W3C local validation. But now I am getting en errors due to schema.org tags, “itemscope”, “itemtype=http://schema.org/”, “itemprop”. The errors I am facing with each tag of schema are below. Please make sure what the wrong with this? Are the schema.org tags not more valuable or supported by html5. I am using HTML 5 for my web page…. I pasted the screen shot of errors that I am receiving


This seems to be a well-known problem; see for example the discussion
at <http://dltj.org/article/schema-org-invalid/>. Note the follow-up
comments, esp. what Peter Murray says w.r.t. HTML5 boolean attributes
<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#boolean-attributes>

In our own experiments we've made such validation errors go away with
incantations like...

<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Event">

(to use Peter's example)

Also note that an alternative HTML5 validator can be found at
<http://html5.validator.nu/>
