We believe this is an important part of the data model and one that should be more widely adopted. Consistent use of Claim markup would help to clearly indicate situations in which a person or organisation is repeatedly making the same claim, or where others are repeating the same misinformation. In addition to enriching claims with author and appearance information, the addition of topic information would provide a useful dimension to the data, helping to surface related claims and fact checks. </span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Corrections and actions</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Without getting all emotional, this feels like an appropriate moment to thank everyone who has contributed to this effort in any way - from publishers, technologists and standards experts to those who build applications that use the markup, or who work on publishing it from sites across the web. Some but not all of you are named in our documentation (<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://schema.org/docs/about.html">about us</a>; <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://schema.org/docs/releases.html">release notes</a>);  but the truth is that the success of Schema.org comes in large part from the millions of sites who have adopted it as a practical way to communicate the meaning of their content using structured data. <div><br/></div><div>Schema.org was founded on the idea of making it easier and simpler for the ordinary, everyday sites that make up the web to use machine-readable data, and for that data to enable an ecosystem of applications used by millions of people. While it's hard to predict exactly what the next decade will bring, if we can all keep these founding concerns in mind as we improve, refine and curate our growing collection of schemas, we'll be doing our part to continue improving the web.</div><div><br/></div><div>Dan & Guha</div><div>For Schema.org.</div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <meta content="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14949597074204285306" itemprop="url"/> <a class="g-profile" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14949597074204285306" rel="author" title="author profile"> <span itemprop="name">@danbri</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2021/06/schemaorg-is-ten.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2021/06/schemaorg-is-ten.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2021-06-02T10:40:00-07:00">10:40 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-752849813"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=3211842136871447896&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=3211842136871447896&target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=3211842136871447896&target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

It is now simpler to use, and available for testing. Schema.org will integrate feedback into its <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/blob/main/docs/validator.md">draft</a> documentation and add it more explicitly to the Schema.org website for the next official release.</div><div><br/></div><div>SDTT is a tool from Google which began life as the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2010/09/rich-snippets-testing-tool-improvements">Rich Snippets Testing Tool </a>back in 2010. Last year Google <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2020/07/rich-results-test-out-of-beta">announced plans</a> to migrate from SDTT to successor tooling, the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://search.google.com/test/rich-results">Rich Results Test</a>, alongside plans to "deprecate the Structured Data Testing Tool". The newer Google tooling is focused on helping publishers who are targeting specific schema.org-powered <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/search-gallery">searc</a><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/">h features</a> offered by Google, and for these purposes is a huge improvement as it contextualizes many warnings and errors to a specific target application.<div><br/></div><div>However, many publishers had also appreciated SDTT as a powerful and general purpose structured data validator. Headlines such as "<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.seroundtable.com/google-deprecate-the-structured-data-testing-tool-29737.html">Google Structured Data Testing Tool Going Away; SEOs Are Not Happy</a>" captured something of the mood.</div><div><br/></div><div>Schema.org started out written only in <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microdata_(HTML)">Microdata</a>, before embracing <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2011/11/using-rdfa-11-lite-with-schemaorg.html">RDFa 1.1 Lite</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2013/06/schemaorg-and-json-ld.html">JSON-LD 1.0</a>. There are now huge amounts of Schema.org data in all of these formats and more (see <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://webdatacommons.org/structureddata/#results-2020-1">webdatacommons</a> report). Schema.org endorsed these multiple encodings, because they can each meet different needs and constraints experienced by publishers. The new validator will check all of these formats.</div><div><br/></div><div><div>Amongst all this complexity, it is important to remind ourselves of the importance of simplicity and usability of Schema.org markup for its founding purpose: machine-readable summaries of ordinary web page content. Markup that - when well-formed - helps real people find jobs, educational opportunities, images they can <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://iptc.org/news/schema-org-update-for-better-mapping-to-iptc-photo-metadata/">re-use</a>, learn from fact checkers or find a recipe to cook for dinner.</div><div><br/></div><div>This is the focus of the new Schema Markup Validator (SMV). It is simpler than its predecessor SDTT because it is dedicated to checking that you're using JSON-LD, RDFa and Microdata in widely understood ways, and to warning you if you are using Schema.org types and properties in unusual combinations. It does <i>not</i> try to check your content against the information needs of specific services, tools or products (a topic deserving its own blog post). But it <i>will</i> help you understand whether or not your data expresses what you hope it expresses, and to reflect the essence of your structured data back in an intuitive way that reflects its underlying meaning.</div></div><div><br/></div><div>The <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://validator.schema.org/">validator.schema.org</a> service is powered by Google's general infrastructure for working with structured data, and is provided to the Schema.org project as a Google-hosted tool. We are also happy to note that many other schema.org-oriented validators are available, both commercial (e.g. <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/yandex-indexing/validator.html">Yandex's</a>) and opensource. For example, the <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://linter.structured-data.org/">Structured Data Linter,</a> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://json-ld.org/playground/">JSON-LD Playground</a>, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://github.com/semantifyit/sdo-check/">SDO-Check</a> and <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://github.com/google/schemarama/">Schemarama</a> tools.

Schema.org has made a number of efforts already to contribute to the global Coronavirus response, including the creation of <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://schema.org/SpecialAnnouncement">SpecialAnnouncement</a> markup, improvements around events, jobs, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://schema.org/docs/cdc-covid.html">hospital reporting</a>, and other schemas to reflect our changed reality. <div><br/></div><div>This week we have invited <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2011/11/07/open-innovation-heroes-introducing-veterans-job-bank">longstanding</a> Schema.org collaborator Aneesh Chopra to provide an introduction to some important developments in the United States, where Schema.org is being used to improve the accuracy of information about healthcare provider directories. <div><br/></div><div>Guest post by Aneesh Chopra, former U.S. CTO (2009-2012) and President/Co-Founder of <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://carejourney.com/">CareJourney</a>:<div><br/></div><div>Just over 9 years ago, the schema.org community <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2011/11/schemaorg-support-for-job-postings.html">launched a markup for JobPostings, </a>an important resource to meet a call to action in helping veterans find jobs that valued their skills. During the early months of the pandemic, this community responded with an important upgrade to the nation’s health IT infrastructure to democratize access more <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/connecting-americans-coronavirus-information-online/" rel="nofollow">trusted health information online</a>.<div><br/></div><div>Today, at an <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.healthit.gov/news/events/accelerating-apis-healthcare-year-review-and-momentum-2021" rel="nofollow">API Summit</a> hosted by the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT, Kathy Hempstead of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation announced an open collaboration that builds upon the same regulations and industry standards to improve another important aspect of the consumer health navigation experience - searching for timely, accurate provider directory information.<div><br/></div><div>For many Americans, finding a health plan that includes their trusted providers is critically important, but often requires tedious work looking up each plan’s provider directory. Sadly, as CMS found in a recent <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Health-Plans/ManagedCareMarketing/Downloads/Provider_Directory_Review_Industry_Report_Round_3_11-28-2018.pdf" rel="nofollow">review</a>, nearly 50% of provider directories contained inaccuracies regarding whether the provider was accepting new patients, practicing at the address listed, or reachable via the listed phone number. <div><br/></div><div>Regulators have attempted to solve these problems by imposing penalties on government-sponsored plans for inaccurate information, but an additional solution may be at hand. A <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/fact-sheets/interoperability-and-patient-access-fact-sheet" rel="nofollow">provision</a> embedded in CMS’ interoperability regulations requires government-sponsored health plans to publish machine-readable access to timely directory information by July 2021. In an effort to reduce administrative burdens, a multi-stakeholder collaborative is looking to both improve the quality of physician websites to include this information and to enable health plans to source timely, accurate information from them to comply with the rules.<div><br/></div><div>Similar to the work that was done to make it easier for consumers to find <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://carejourney.com/covid-schema-playbook/" rel="nofollow">COVID announcements</a> on physician websites, such as testing availability, revised office hours or telemedicine services, this collaborative will work to standardize how to publish structured provider directory information. To further simplify the search experience, providers can now publish their website URL when updating their “digital contact information” on CMS’ <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov/registry/help-details">NPPES NPI Registry</a>.<div><br/></div><div>Adding structured data from a provider’s website to the portfolio of tools health plans use today – including plan-agnostic reporting tools, “secret shopper” visits, mailings, and a number of emerging data-driven solutions – should result in a reduction in the administrative burden of updating physician directories. Directory maintenance is burdensome. The average practice has over 20 health plan contracts and directories to maintain with over 50% of these updates being conducted via phone or fax. According to a 2019 CAQH (Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare®) <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.caqh.org/sites/default/files/explorations/CAQH-hidden-causes-provider-directories-whitepaper.pdf" rel="nofollow">report</a>, the average practice spends $1,000 each month for directory maintenance. Yet at the same time, physician practices find value in online marketing as a way to attract new patients, and invest an average of $650 per month to design websites and optimize search results, according to a study by <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://thescript.zocdoc.com/how-much-do-other-practices-spend-on-marketing/" rel="nofollow">Zocdoc</a>. A web standardization effort will therefore have multiple benefits. It will allow physicians to more efficiently communicate useful information via search engines that can also be used to populate health plan directories and to meet regulatory compliance, thus reducing administrative burdens. <div><br/></div><div>CareJourney, with support from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, seeks to engage public and private sector stakeholders in an effort to accelerate the development and adoption of <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://schema.org/">schema.org</a> web standards for physician information, and to curate a portfolio of tools to structure this information on a practice’s website. Our goal is to improve consumer access to provider information while lowering physician burden. We anticipate the following benefits: <br/><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Increased consumer access to high-quality, accurate provider information, such as whether a doctor, practicing at this location, is seeing new patients from my plan. </li><li>Consistent webpage documentation and maintenance practices that are sufficient to meet health plan regulatory requirements </li><li>Improved search engine results by leveraging the structured website markup </li></ul>This effort will benefit from the active participation of the healthcare community and we welcome additional participants to play a part in our initiative. Assistance in testing and providing feedback on the proposed web standards will be critical and extremely helpful in further promotion and adoption. Once the resulting open information and markup instructions are freely available, we welcome assistance in the widespread dissemination. Finally, we are grateful the prominent search engines are engaged in a process for site maintenance that ensures physicians keep their websites properly structured at the lowest possible administrative burden.<div><br/></div><div>Thank you, in advance, for your interest in advancing this important work!

Schema.org discussions have often centered around the importance of ease of use, simplicity and adoption for publishers and webmasters. While those principles will continue to guide our work, it is also important to work to make it easier to consume structured data, by building applications and making more use of the information it carries. We are therefore happy to welcome the new <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.datacommons.org/">Data Commons</a> initiative, which is devoted to sharing such datasets, beginning with a corpus of fact check data based on the schema.org <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://schema.org/ClaimReview">ClaimReview markup</a> as adopted by many fact checkers around the world. We expect that this work will benefit the wider ecosystem around structured data by encouraging use and re-use of schema.org related datasets. </div> <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"> <span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <meta content="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14949597074204285306" itemprop="url"/> <a class="g-profile" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14949597074204285306" rel="author" title="author profile"> <span itemprop="name">@danbri</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2018/05/datacommonsorg-and-schemaorg.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/http://blog.schema.org/2018/05/datacommonsorg-and-schemaorg.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2018-05-02T13:41:00-07:00">1:41 PM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-752849813"> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=186645880124343675&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629im_/https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=186645880124343675&target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20230321080629/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=6594919674369291483&postID=186645880124343675&target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");
