******************* Abstract **************************
Schema.org provides a collection of schemas, i.e., html tags, that
webmasters can use to markup their pages in ways recognized by major search
providers. Search engines including Bing, Google, Yahoo! and Yandex rely on
this markup to improve the display of search results, making it easier for
people to find the right web pages. Many sites are generated from structured
data, which is often stored in databases. When this data is formatted into
HTML, it becomes very difficult to recover the original structured data. Many
applications, especially search engines, can benefit greatly from direct
access to this structured data. On-page markup enables search engines to
understand the information on web pages and provide richer search results in
order to make it easier for users to find relevant information on the web.
Markup can also enable new tools and applications that make use of the
structure. A shared markup vocabulary makes easier for webmasters to decide on
a markup schema and get the maximum benefit for their efforts. So, in the
spirit of sitemaps.org, search engines have
come together to provide a shared collection of schemas that webmasters can
use.
This session will be structured as a Q&A session where Google Fellow
Ramanathan Guha will provide a brief introduction to the Schema.org activity
and then answer your questions regarding the relation between this work and
the broader ontology world.
