URI for data-vocabulary.org
In the example, the URI http://data-vocabulary.org/Person is used. While this does resolve to a page that describes the concept, http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/rdf.xml defines a base URI of http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/. Doesn't that suggest that the author should have used http://rdf.data-vocabulary.org/#Person? Bovlb (talk) 23:57, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

changed from data-vocabulary.org to schema.org
The homepage of http://data-vocabulary.org mentions the following: Since June 2011, several major search engines have been collaborating on a new common data vocabulary called schema.org. Meaning it's recommended to use schema.org over data-vocabulary.org since its features are merged into this standard. WritersBlok (talk) 22:18, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Dead
There should probably be some mention of the Microdata specification being “dead”. It was “rippped” out of the HTML5.0 spec, and was also removed from WebKit and Blink. Currently, it is awaiting an active community (and especially an editor) if it wants to make it into HTML5.1 in 2016, otherwise it is dead in the water. (I suppose the lack of update in this article is indicative of its lack of community.) Synetech (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2015 (UTC)


 * It's… not entirely dead. It remains in the WHATWG spec, actively edited, though the DOM API is gone due to lack of interest from implementors, as it has got a number of large-scale deployments — plenty of Google tools use it, including things as notable as Search.
