New and Informative Briefing Report: “What is Schema.org”

Published yesterday by Cetis (Centre for Educational Technology, Interoperability and Standards) based in UK.
From the Report:

“What is schema.org?” describes the schema.org specification for a technical audience. It is aimed at people who may want to use schema.org markup in websites or other tools, and who wish to know more about the technical approach behind schema.org and how to implement it. As such, it has relevance beyond our work in supporting LRMI [Learning Resource Metadata Initiative], and we hope it will be of interest to anyone describing resources on the web, whether these are educational resources or not. Additional briefings providing an in-depth technical overview of LRMI will follow.
This briefing has been produced as part of the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative (LRMI), which is concerned with extending and applying schema.org to the description of educationally relevant properties of resources. Other briefings in this series will provide an in-depth overview of LRMI.
