Re: Schema.org

Doesn;t this have all the markings of a cartel forming? And what will happen to the budding semantic web search engines?

Hi all,
I'm surprised nobody has started the discussion on the gran announcement of Google, Yahoo and Bing on schema.org
What do you all think? Is this a step forward or a step backwards? 


Is this "the best news I have heard in years regarding the structured Web, RDF, and the semantic Web" [1] or not?


Looking forward to this discussion!
