VisualArtwork for Schema.org: Progress Report
I initially proposed the new Schema.org type for VisualArtwork back in May 2013,
and it’s now very close to being properly adopted.
Dan Brickley announced last week
that he had made a test build of VisualArtwork, along with 2 other new types:
PublicationVolume and Periodical, and a new workPerformed property for the
Event type.
You can see the test VisualArtwork build here .
Important note: this is only a test build on the test domain so please don’t use it on a live website.
I look forward soon to being able to report that the VisualArtwork schema proposal
has been formally adopted - watch this space (or the schema.org blog )
To help things along I have added 3 examples of usage (using RDFa )
to the Schema.org Proposal wiki .
