An initiative by Google, Yahoo and Bing to make a tag language to make things more findable in search engines.
Is there anything in this for us? schema.org tags in templates? Presumably this would require software work too, and require us to cross levels between software and content, at least a little ...

Thanks for raising this, if the main search engines are collaborating on this together then it will probably work. But it makes me wonder:
Are other sites implementing this?
Am I correct in thinking that implementing this would further our mission by making relevant parts of our data more likely to appear in people's searches?
Can we implement this without adding all this code to our data, for example by using categories etc to create a version that the search engines see and offering the current version to our editors?
What happens if some Wikipedia editors start including schema tags in articles? Will it work and if so does MOS need an update?
Can we incorporate Schema into the WYSIWYG upgrade currently being worked? If we don't, does this have the potential to raise the barriers against new editors joining us because they find our format arcane and more difficult than using Word or Facebook?
