- Issue #2907: Added directApply property to indicate on a JobPosting whether
direct applications are supported.
- Issue #2844: Additional detail for MediaReview description.
To cross-reference (via link or embedded description) between ClaimReview
and MediaReview, two new properties:
associatedClaimReview,
associatedMediaReview. These are defined as specializations of a
common superproperty: associatedReview.
To describe exact, specific, "frozen" snapshots of a potentially changing
MediaObject, three new types:
ImageObjectSnapshot,
AudioObjectSnapshot,
VideoObjectSnapshot. A new property,
sha256, can be used to identify the specific file by a
hash of its contents.
To group together multiple elements for reference by itemReviewed, a new
type: MediaReviewItem. Its property,
mediaItemAppearance, can use the "snapshot" types to bundle
several different appearances of the same basic media item.
For the case of an image with embedded text, a new property: embeddedTextCaption (a subproperty of caption). To characterize the original context of a potentially decontextualized media item, a property originalMediaContextDescription, alongside
originalMediaLink,
embeddedTextCaption,
interpretedAsClaim,
claimInterpreter, and
archivedAt to provide additional supporting information useful for fact checking and
misinformation-related workflows.
- Issue #2912: Add a Statement type, parallel to Claim, for simple statements such as "fun or interesting" facts, to distinguish them from more formal (e.g. fact-checkable) claims.

3.3 sdo-enceladus 2017-08-14 |
Version 3.3 (working name 'sdo-enceladus'). See planning pages, specifically #1569 for details.
This release introduces new types around Review, NewsArticle and Article that allow more fine-grained distinctions to be made.
It adds a TouristAttraction type to the core, and a draft PublicToilet type
as a draft proposal. It adds a HowTo vocabulary that generalizes Recipe-like structured
instructions, and adds some useful properties to EmailMessage. It also adds a substantial vocabulary for describing
Legislation to the new area.
|
Vocabulary
Core changes
- Issue #1459: Improvements to TouristAttraction.
Add a new property touristType to TouristAttraction, "Attraction suitable for type(s) of tourist. eg. Children, visitors from a particular country, etc".

"A flag to signal that the Place is accessible by public visitors."

proposed additional terms, and discussing the relationship between News and related markup for Education/Learning, TV, Radio etc.

steps, supply and tool as new properties, and re-uses
performTime, prepTime,
totalTime. We also introduce yield, which generalizes the existing recipeYield, and note that performTime generalizes the existing cookTime. Supporting types HowToItem (with a requiredQuantity property), HowToSupply and HowToTool,
HowToSection and HowToStep (a kind of ItemList) are also provided, to allow more explicitly structured steps to be described. This effort has had many contributors over the years - thanks to all who have helped!

- Issue #1156: Add Legislation,
LegalForceStatus, LegislationObject,
LegalValueLevel and other supporting terms. These terms are based on the European Legislation Identifier (ELI) ontology and the work of the ELI taskforce.

2.2 sdo-phobos (2015-11-05) |

concern for cleanup and integration of existing vocabulary. Notable additions include ExhibitionEvent,
Barcode, DataFeed, containsPlace, GeoCircle,
geoRadius, geoMidpoint, providerMobility
and actionPlatform. A number of changes improve our handling of Service description, including the
deprecation of the ProfessionalService construct. We have kept all the specific types that were previously
considered ProfessionalService but discourage the use of the type 'ProfessionalService' since it is easily confused with 'Service'.

A cluster of construction-related local businesses
formerly treated as ProfessionalService continue as HomeAndConstructionBusiness subtypes.
Marked Attorney as deprecated in favor of LegalService
per #784. Added hoursAvailable to Service.

Clarification and cleanup around areaServed, now marked as a super-property of
the more specific eligibleRegion and availableAtOrFrom properties.

Version 2.1 (working name 'sdo-ganymede') includes many small fixes, some new vocabulary, as well as the first release of the 'hosted extensions' mechanism, featuring bib(liographic) and auto(mobile) extensions for final review. A pre-release of this version of schema.org was available for review. |
Vocabulary
- Issue #611: Added Person as expected value for publisher property.
- Issue #596: Documented that affiliation is a sub-property of memberOf.
- Issue #207: Added a Bridge type under CivicStructure.
- Issue #346: Added URL as expected value for genre property.
- Issue #374: Added Report type under Article, and a reportNumber property.
- Issue #577: Amended videoFormat to indicate that it is expected on BroadcastEvent and ScreeningEvent, rather than TelevisionStation.
- Issue #535: Broadened domain of parentOrganization to allow any Organization, rather than only LocalBusiness. Noted parentOrganization and subOrganization as inverses.
- Issue #531: Added the lyrics property to MusicComposition.
- Issue #518: Renamed paymentDue property to paymentDueDate. Changed paymentStatus property to expect an enumerated value of type PaymentStatusType in addition to Text. The options are: PaymentComplete, PaymentDue, PaymentPastDue, PaymentDeclined and PaymentAutomaticallyApplied.
- Issue #137: Deprecated UserInteraction and its children in favor of a new type: InteractionCounter. InteractionCounter allows for reporting aggregated statistics by service and type. Thanks elf Pavlik for collaboration.
- Issue #526: Added new types LiveBlogPosting, SocialMediaPosting, and DiscussionForumPosting, alongside supporting properties.
- Issue #334: Updated the controlled values for accessibilityHazard shown in examples to follow latest community recommendations: 'noFlashing' is now 'noFlashingHazard', 'noMotionSimulation' is 'noMotionSimulationHazard', and 'noSound' is 'noSoundHazard'.
Site improvements
- Issue #429: Hosted extensions e.g. bib.schema.org are now enabled and linked from 'core' pages with appropriate navigation and styling.
- Issue #655: Extension definitions now include an isPartOf property to link them to the extension.
- Issue #527: Added materials from Kickoff Workshop in 2011.
- Issue #78: Multiple supertypes are now displayed properly. It is possible for several schema.org types to apply to a single thing, and for a type to have multiple parent types. This is relatively rare, but important to display. For example, anything that is a LocalBusiness is considered both an Organization and a Place; so all subtypes of LocalBusiness have both as supertypes. We can now show this more clearly, e.g. ElectronicsStore.
- Added CSS for explicit styling (
) in releases page during Steering Group review of candidate releases.
- Issue #557, #660, #695, #469: Several DataType-related navigation fixes, following recent modeling changes.

2.0 sdo-gozer (2015-05-12) |
Version 2.0 consolidates and integrates schema.org's existing vocabulary. This version features many updated definitions, type/property associations and term names that
improve consistency and usability. It also introduces a new extension system.
Version 2.0 adds various new terms including mainEntityOfPage and major contributions from the
Automotive Ontology community.

Vocabulary
-
Issue #262: Added new vocabulary for Car:
The new vocabulary includes a number of properties such as: numberOfAirbags,
numberOfAxles,
numberOfForwardGears,
fuelConsumption,
fuelEfficiency
vehicleEngine,
EngineSpecification...
Thanks to Martin Hepp, Mirek Sopek, Karol Szczepański and others
in the Automotive Ontology community group.
We anticipate substantial additions that build on this foundation will be contributed as an extension.
-
Issue #301: Added a generic property/values mechanism, building upon PropertyValueSpecification, StructuredValue and value; added
PropertyValue and additionalProperty. See examples for usage. This is a lightweight
mechanism to allow markup of properties that are not easily mapped to existing schema.org properties. Whenever possible, it is generally better to use a dedicated schema.org property if one exists.
- Issue #301: Added mainEntityOfPage (and an inverse, mainEntity) to indicate which of the entities mentioned in a page is its primary topic.
- Issue #225: Added a schemaVersion property, for use by applications that require more precise referencing of schema versions.
- Issue #266: Added OrderItem to allow ParcelDelivery to be tracked per item, not just on an entire Order.
- Issue #170: Clarifying CommentAction, Comment by deprecating UserComments. Several mentions of UserComments removed from other terms. 'inLanguage' supersedes 'language'. Added a resultComment property. UserInteraction and sub-types will be deprecated.
- Issue #300: Answer is now a sub-type of Comment. The 'question' property expects 'Question' type for its values (rather than Text as in AskAction previously). Added resultComment on ReplyAction. Cleaned up examples.
- Issue #130: Amended True and False to be instances (rather than sub-types) of Boolean.
- Issue #218: Amended DataType to model it as a sub-class of Class, with each datatype e.g. Boolean, Text, Date, DateTime, Time etc. being classes that have a typeOf DataType. DataTypes can have sub-types, e.g. Integer and Float are subtypes of Number.

1.92 sdo-venkman (2014-12-11) |
ItemList and BreadcrumbList changes; Sports-related improvements; Added a Music vocabulary; Video games. Also weight/height on Person; Control and RSVP actions; Role names; Dated monetary values. |
Vocabulary
- Updated ItemList to allow for richer kinds of lists (including ordering), rather than just strings; added BreadcrumbList
- The weight and height properties can now be with the Person type. Added netWorth to Person. Added EmployeeRole.
- Added SportsOrganization as a super-type of SportsTeam,
representing sports organizations, including sports teams, governing bodies, and sports associations.
Added a sport property to indicate the associated sport(s) for a SportsOrganization; also
added coach and athlete properties.
Added numberedPosition property to OrganizationRole.
Added homeTeam and awayTeam properties to SportsEvent, alongside a super-property of those, competitor.
- Added a VideoGame type with two super-types:
SoftwareApplication and a new Game type.
We anticipate a need for future work around Game,
see issue #169.
VideoGame has cheatCode,
gameServer,
gamePlatform, playMode
and gameTip properties, plus a few supporting types. A property softwareHelp
has also been added to SoftwareApplication to indicate supporting documentation.
- While integrating VideoGame an issue was
raised around the need to describe series of games.
As a result we have made some changes to the Series type, which previously emphasised only
TV and Radio Series: added VideoGameSeries,
BookSeries, and MovieSeries. The recently added
Periodical type is also now modeled as a Series subtype. Some redundant
type/property associations were also tidied up. The existing
trailer property can now be used with
VideoGame and VideoGameSeries.
-
Added ControlAction (previously proposed as OperateAction). Add expectsAcceptanceOf
on ConsumeAction (previously proposed as 'contingentOnOffer'). Added ineligibleRegion
(on Offer, previously proposed as 'notAvailableAtOrFrom').
- Add rsvpResponse, additionalNumberOfGuests properties
to the existing RsvpAction type
(see also github issue and details).
This change also adds an enumeration RsvpResponseType: RsvpResponseYes, RsvpResponseNo,
RsvpResponseMaybe. Finally, we add a new possible ActionStatusType: FailedActionStatus,
alongside an error property linking an Action to more information on the cause of the failure.
- Add roleName to Role, superseding namedPosition (see also issue and details).
- Add to MusicAlbum properties: albumProductionType,
albumReleaseType, albumRelease (and inverse, releaseOf).
Supporting enumerated types: MusicAlbumProductionType (CompilationAlbum, DemoAlbum,
DJMixAlbum, LiveAlbum, MixtapeAlbum, RemixAlbum,
SoundtrackAlbum, SpokenWordAlbum, StudioAlbum.
MusicAlbumReleaseType (AlbumRelease, BroadcastRelease, EPRelease,
SingleRelease).
Add new types: MusicRelease, MusicComposition, the latter with properties musicArrangement,
composer, firstPerformance, includedComposition, iswcCode,
lyricist, musicCompositionForm, musicalKey, recordedAs (inverse: recordingOf).
Expand track to allow ItemList values, for lists of MusicRecording, and
genre to apply to MusicGroup.
- Broadened the description of logo property, to match the types it applies to. See also github issue and details.
- Added a DatedMoneySpecification type for non-price monetary values, by analogy with PriceSpecification and its subtypes. Added amount and
currency properties and tweaked startDate and endDate property definitions to fit.
- See also blog post...

1.9 (2014-08-18) |
Bibliographic improvements (Periodical and more) alongside seller/broker/provider clarifications. |
Several bibliographic improvements, thanks to the work of the W3C BibExtend Community Group.
Improved handling of Periodicals, Articles and Multi-volume Works,
introducing types and supporting properties for Periodical,
PublicationVolume and
PublicationIssue. Adds new Article properties:
pageStart, pageEnd and pagination.
CreativeWork gains a convenience inverse of isPartOf called
hasPart, as well as a new pair of inverses, workExample and
exampleOfWork that link specific and general perspectives on creative works. Many thanks to
all the BibExtend group members, to Richard Wallis
for chairing, and to Dan Scott for implementing.
Provider/Seller vocabulary: this update also clarifies how to use a set of related terms, integrating sections of schema.org that had developed
separately. Full details are documented at W3C
and in Github, alongside an overview document.
The provider property describes a service provider, service operator, or service performer, while
seller describe the entities which sell or offer a service on behalf of an actual service provider. We
introduce a more general broker property (replacing the over-specific bookingAgent),
as well as deprecating vendor and merchant in favour of seller.
Regarding flights and parcel delivery, carrier is
superseded by provider. Please also note that flightNumber should now be written in full (i.e. "UA110" rather than just "110").
See the supporting documents for details.
Finally, episodeNumber, seasonNumber and
clipNumber (for TV/Radio) have been harmonized with the periodicals design
(issueNumber and volumeNumber). In each case, both Integer
and Text values are anticipated. A common superproperty, position can also be used. This
reflects implementation experience and
establishes a model that can be applied elsewhere, e.g. ongoing work on describing music.
This update also improves the display and navigation of supersededBy relations between
schema.org properties (e.g. see seller).
The Terms of service document was also updated to note
that Yandex is now a schema.org Sponsor and to adopt the patent terms used by W3C.

1.8 (2014-07-28) |
Added WebSite type; broadened isPartOf property. |
Added a new CreativeWork type, WebSite: "A WebSite is a set of related web pages and other items typically
served from a single web domain and accessible via URLs." Also adopts the suggestion made by the BibExtend group and other
collaborators, to broaden the isPartOf property, which now relates any CreativeWork to any other CreativeWork.
This release also makes the Potential Actions documentation available in HTML.
Several markup fixes from Stéphane Corlosquet, alongside
improvements to the consistency of encoding /
associatedMedia property definitions thanks to Dan Scott.
(announcement)
|
1.7 (2014-07-08) |
Allows image with ImageObject; adds Event organizers,
Map improvements. |
This release amends the image property, noting that ImageObject is a
reasonable value. It also adds an organizer property to
Event. Changes around Map: we add and prefer a 'hasMap' property
which supersedes the older 'map' property, and we add a mapType property which comes with some enumerated values:
ParkingMap, SeatingMap, TransitMap,
VenueMap. A Map might be (but needn't be) also an ImageObject.
(announcement) |
1.6 (2014-06-16) |
Roles, various fixes, site navigation improvements. |
This release introduced the notion of a Role type to schema.org. See the blog post
for details. The Role mechanism applies across all of schema.org, and allows simple statements to be elaborated or
qualified, for example with temporal information. Other changes in this release include the addition of a
license property, and some documentation of properties used internally by schema.org's documentation system
(Property, Class, supersededBy, inverseOf).
Fixed an embarrassing typo - "dead" - in the diet property - thanks, Dan Scott. Various other
small changes - listed in the preview announcement.
(announcement and
candidate release) |
1.5 (2014-05-27) |

(announcement and
blog post)
|
1.1 (2014-05-04) |
Reservations, Q/A and more. |
Added a Reservation schema. Question/Answer sites. Order changes. Added EmailMessage.
1.) This release of schema.org adds a finalized Reservations schema, which refines
earlier proposals discussed in the Web Schemas community over the last year.
See wiki for details.
The Reservations vocabulary includes: Reservation, ReservationPackage,
ReservationStatusType,
Ticket, Flight,
EventReservation,
FlightReservation,
TrainReservation,
BusReservation,
TaxiReservation,
LodgingReservation,
RentalCarReservation,
ProgramMembership,
Seat,
Vehicle,
Airline,
FoodEstablishmentReservation,
TrainTrip,
Car,
BusTrip,
Taxi.
2.) Q/A sites

(candidate release drafted as '1.0g'; not
formally announced but included in the change
to github-based publishing)

1.0f (2014-02-05) |
Not-for-profit Offer and other fixes. |
This version adapts the wording around the Offer type to suit non-profit scenarios,
such as libraries. Thanks to Dan Scott and the BibExtend group for these proposals.
This change broadens the definition of Offer and makes associated changes to
ItemAvailability and
OfferItemCondition, typically rewording "the item for sale" to
simply say "the item". The itemOffered property is now defined more
appropriately as "The item being offered." rather than "...sold.". The "seller"
property is now defined as "The organization or person making the offer.", a compromise to support
its use for more kinds of offer.
(candidate release

1.0e (2013-12-04) |
Accessibility properties and Order type. |

(announcement)
|
0.96 (2012-07-18) |
Added additionalType property. |
Added additionalType property (wiki).
"An additional type for the
item, typically used for adding more specific types from external
vocabularies in microdata syntax. This is a relationship between
something and a class that the thing is in. In RDFa syntax, it is
better to use the native RDFa syntax - the 'typeof' attribute - for
multiple types. Schema.org tools may have only weaker understanding of
extra types, in particular those defined externally."
(announcement)
|
0.95 (2012-06-26) |
Added Medical/Health vocabulary. |
This release added substantial vocabulary in the medical/health domain (around 100 classes, 200 properties). The additions are
mainly organized beneath the MedicalEntity type. An
overview document is also provided. From the blog post:
"This collaborative project drew upon search expertise from the schema.org partners but also gained immeasurably through feedback from expert reviewers including the US NCBI; physicians at Harvard, Duke and other institutions, as well as from several health Web sites. Contributions from the W3C Healthcare and Lifesciences group and Web Schemas community also helped bridge the complex worlds of Web standards, search and medicine/healthcare."

0.91 (2012-04-21) |
Removed plural 's' suffix from repeatable properties; added Comment type, SoftwareApplication vocabulary. |

23 changes: actor, album, attendee, award, blogPost, colleague, contactPoint, employee, encoding, episode, event, founder, map, member, parent, performer, photo, review, season, sibling, significantLink, subEvent, track.
Each of these originally had a plural 's' to indicate repeatability. After discussion in the W3C WebSchemas group, the consensus was that
this was confusing and worthwhile changing.
This revision added a new type, 'Comment', whose super-type is CreativeWork
(wiki)
Also adds SoftwareApplication and supporting vocabulary (wiki, original proposal),
including MobileApplication, WebApplication subtypes.
Converged URL/Url spelling. After WebSchemas discussion, consensus was:
For each of embedURL, contentURL, downloadURL, ensure there is an equivalent property named with mixed-case: 'embedUrl', 'contentUrl', 'downloadUrl'.
