Thanks Ron,

Taking the example 1c. of that schema.org document:

<div itemscope itemtype ="http://schema.org/Movie">
 <h1 itemprop="name">Avatar</h1>
 <span>Director: <span itemprop="director">James Cameron</span> (born August 16, 1954)</span>
 <span itemprop="genre">Science fiction</span>
 <a href="" itemprop="trailer">Trailer</a>
</div>


What I mean by RDF model of that information is the following turtle,
assuming that the page having this <div> embedded in it has the URL http://server/page.html, so I expected this RDF for this resource:

http://server/page.html
        a                         schema:Movie ;
        schema:name                 "Avatar" ;
        schema:director                "James cameron" ;
        schema:genre                "Science Fiction" ;
        schema:trailer                 <http://server/page/../movies/avatar-theartificial-trailer.html> .

Having that data is kind of an index of such items one can process and analyze.

Or maybe this:

base:0001
        a                schema:item ;
        schema:type        schema:Movie ;
        schema:url        <http://server/page.html> ;
        schema:name                 "Avatar" ;
        schema:director                "James cameron" ;
        schema:genre                "Science Fiction" ;
        schema:trailer                 <http://server/page/../movies/avatar-theartificial-trailer.html> .
etc.

I assume that (for instance) schema:name is an owl:dataProperty in the "schema" ontology, schema:item is an owl:Class, etc.

I may be wrong here, so any thoughts?

http://www.schema.org/docs/gs.html  has a nice example of how it works.

Your program can call up a page on a web site and get back not only the nicely formatted text with the information presented in a way that humans can read it  but also tagged information in the HTML that a program can parse easily to find data for subsequent use.
Most often I suspect that  you would not be incorporating it into a model but using the model in processing rules to further process the data that you now can find in web pages.
If you had a stock trading program, I would expect that your model is static and you would be searching a stock quotation service to get prices and other trading information that would be included in the HTML to feed to your process which would use this data in conjunction with your model to create trading transactions.

A BOM system could present orders to suppliers as links to HTML pages that the customer service manager or logistics clerk could view and that same page would also act as input into the suppliers ERP as an order.

I suppose that you could create an ontology that was a series of web pages that people could read and machines could process. An interesting project! Getting nicely formatted terminology pages from the same page would make it easier to get people to read and use a model without impairing the ability of machines to read it.

http://www.schema.org/docs/full.html  lists the vocabulary available to describe the information on a page.
Each type has a set of properties that can be used.

I gather that this list will get longer as domain SMEs, ontologists and system analysts tackle new areas of interest.

Ron, Pat,
[US]: I suppose a *program* would be some crawler that can extract this information from pages, taking them as a resource in an RDF model. That model would be a harvesting of semantic information, using the schema.org ontology (is there such thing? what is it?) from a site or group of sites. Can be a large data set, but the result can than be processed, reasoned about, analyzed, etc. Should be useful content.


Thoughts?

     I have looked at a number of pages enthusing about how great it is,
with no links to actual usage.  Perhaps someone knows of a publicly
available real example of usage with details of the internal mechanisms, not
just use cases?   I mean the **program** that uses it, not just references
to sites that "use" it by marking up their pages using the schema.org
vocabulary.   It' nice that many people mark up their data in a similar
manner, but that doesn't help me understand the way that markup is processed
for practical purposes.

Aye! There's the rub!!!
Anyone know the contact information for one of the directors of the project
at Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo?
