Re: schema.org 1.0a revision: LRMI, Datasets, Audience, Technical Publishing vocabulary and more.

Greetings Schema.org Taskforce

Just joined this list, with a couple of things in mind

1. In general, trying to learn about schema.org developments, what's new,
whats happening (or not :-), in particular interested at thsi moment about
 what is happening in library linked data, as I am preparing a talk I ll
give in the summer.
if possible pls point me to archives, repositories and interesting/relevant
threads
where I can learn the latest

2.

I am working with a team of students in India on an exercise in web
information collection/publishing, and we are precisely working on temple
metadata

Having found that a schema already exists,
http://schema.org/HinduTemple
we plan to use it, however we
would like to extend it ( data is missing from this schema based on our
experience) How can we contribute to refine/improve this particular schema
on schema.org?

This for me brings up the question how  the schemas are pulled together in
the first place, based on what knowledge/construct/process?

(Since starting the exercise I have learned about this mailing list, so I
may invite some students to join here if they so wish)


cheers

PDM
