@askaravinth_ra http://Schema.org Microformats http://Schema.org has become somewhat of a cult phenomenon. #Schema (twitter.com/_/status/1409814398277926912)

[tw2113_Slack_] call me cynical, but i feel like schema was Google thinking microformats were a good idea conceptually, but wanted more control over implementation, so they just made their own standard and strong armed the internet

[KevinMarks] It was a bit more complicated than that, as they had a few other attempts inbetween. They had some people there who were a bit dogmatic about RDF so that informed one aspect of it, and then they went for inheritance over composition, which informed another part of it.
#
sknebel and there is some argument for the JSON blob over the embedded in HTML approach from their perspective
#
[tw2113_Slack_] i’m sure there’s a lot of nuance details that I’m not aware of, so take my thought above as a very high helicopter spectator view

[tantek] sknebel, the JSONLD data islands came MUCH later
#
[tantek] tw2113 you're not wrong. they wanted more control and to put a ton of new vocabularies out there (though ignored their own previous internal prior efforts)
