Schema.org--a collaboration of the Google, Yahoo!, and Bing search
engines--provides a way to include structured data in Web pages. Since its
introduction in June 2011, the Schema.org vocabulary has grown to cover
descriptive terms for content such as movies, music, organizations, TV
shows, products, locations, news items, and job listings. The goal of
Schema.org is "to improve the display of search results, making it easier
for people to find the right web pages." The Schema.org initiative has
emerged as a focal point for publishers of structured data in Web pages,
especially but not exclusively in the commercial sector.

This webinar will explore how the publication methods of Schema.org relate
to the methods used to publish Linked Data. Must data providers commit to
one or the other, or can the two approaches exist side-by-side, even
reinforcing each other?
