"Big data makes common schemas even more necessary"

In this major article on schema.org authors @103881507406395947454 and @108363728773973627360 of Google and @104450472974192374344 discuss the background, goals, evolution, adoption and future of the vocabulary.

Among the topics covered in this 5,500 word document:

* Work on domain-independent standards for structured data pre-schema.org

* The use and adoption of schema.org since its launch in 2011

* Design decisions taken by schema.org, including its approach to syntax, polymorphism, entity references and incremental complexity

* The schema.org extension model

* Lessons learned to date

This is the most in-depth (but still very accessible) treatment of schema.org to date from those working on the initiative. A big +1 to what is an early Christmas present to for those of us with an active interest in the vocabulary.
