[ppy] Two of the key people we know that are behind Schema.org are
Google's  RV Guha and Dan Brickley.    (02)

You might find the RV Guha talk he gave at Ontolog back in late 2011
interesting - http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2011_12_01    (03)

Dan Brickly is actually on the OntologySummit2014 organizing
Committee, and is one of the co-champions of our upcoming Hackathon
(Track E) activity - ref.

Regards. =ppy
