What is Schema.RDFS.org?

In early June 2011, the three big search engines Bing, Google and Yahoo! introduced Schema.org, a collection of terms that webmasters can use to markup their pages to improve the display of search results. This site is a complementary effort by people from the Linked Data community to support Schema.org deployment and usage with a special focus on Linked Data:

• We provide markup examples and tutorials about publishing & consuming data with Schema.org terms.
• We maintain mappings from Web Data vocabularies such as the DBpedia ontology to Schema.org terms.
• We list tools and libraries that are able to consume or produce Schema.org-based data.
• We automatically scrape the Schema.org terms on a daily basis and generate the following formats:
  RDF/Turtle
  RDF/XML
  RDF/NTriples
  JSON
  CSV: all classes, all properties

Note that the official OWL version of the terms is directly maintained at Schema.org and independent from the above presented formats. Various tools that use or produce Schema.org terms are already available or in preparation. Stay tuned!
