The former seems to be more extensible, in that you can add more Person attributes as they become available. The latter seems easier for HTML authors to start to use, if they aren't already using microdata. Perhaps the question of which is "better" might be answered by considering the applications that will use the data, and the context in which the data is going to be published? Do you have a sense of either of those? //Ed On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 11:40 AM, Cord Wiljes <cwiljes@cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de> wrote: > Dear all, > > if I want to describe a book in schema.org: Which of the following two > versions is correct / better? > > <div itemscope itemtype ="http://schema.org/Book"> > <span itemprop="author" itemscope > itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"><span itemprop="name">Shakespeare, > William</span></span> > </div> > > Or just: > > <div itemscope itemtype ="http://schema.org/Book"> > <span itemprop="author">Shakespeare, William</span> > </div> > > Best, > Cord > > -- > Cord Wiljes > Semantic Computing Group > Excellence Cluster - Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) > Bielefeld University > > Phone: +49 521 106 12036 > Mail: cwiljes@cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de > WWW: http://www.sc.cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de/people/wiljes > > Room H-123 > Morgenbreede 39 > 33615 Bielefeld
