<h2>How can I contribute?</h2>
<p>Now, this has turned into a community project and you can contribute: let us know about which features you want to see here or if you have comments about the mapping. To keep this process manageable, please file an <a href="https://github.com/mhausenblas/schema-org-rdf/issues">issue</a> on Github or clone the <a href="https://github.com/mhausenblas/schema-org-rdf">git repository</a> and send in a pull request.
</p>
<h2 id="background">Why are you doing this and how did this happen?</h2>
<p>
When we first <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/introducing-schemaorg-search-engines.html" title="Official Google Blog: Introducing schema.org: Search engines come together for a richer web">heard</a> about Schema.org, we had a DERI-internal discussion on how to deal with this new development. Just an hour after <a href="http://sw-app.org/mic.xhtml#i">Michael</a> sent out the announcement, <a href="http://g1o.net/foaf.rdf#me">Giovanni</a> was the first to suggest creating a mapping. In the morning of the next day we started to develop a <a href="http://scraperwiki.com/scrapers/schemaorg2rdf/" title="Michael Hausenblas / schema.org2rdf | ScraperWiki">scraper</a> with great support from the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/scraperwiki">ScraperWiki</a> team. <a href="http://richard.cyganiak.de/#me">Richard</a> then took this work further and finalised the scraper. Then, we set up this site with the support of <a href="http://www.johnbreslin.com/foaf/foaf.rdf#me">John</a>, who donated the sub-domain on rdfs.org. In less than 24h we provided an initial mapping of the Schema.org terms to RDF and <a href="http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2011Jun/0031.html">announced</a> it to the public.
</p>
<p>
End of June 2011, the Schema.org sponsors Bing, Google and Yahoo! <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/topic/schemaorg-discussion/0JVQO6-ajBk/discussion">announced</a> an <a href="http://schema.org/docs/schemaorg.owl">official OWL version</a> of the terms, directly served off of their site. As you can imagine, this development rendered the original function of our site obsolete and caused us to re-think the purpose of our site. We decided that the best way to contribute to the community is to turn Schema.RDFS.org into a Schema.org support activity with a special focus on <a href="http://linkeddatabook.com/">Linked Data</a>.
<h2>And thanks go out to ...</h2>
<p>
As per 8 June 2011, the LOD-Around-The-Clock Support Action (<a href="http://latc-project.eu/">LATC</a>) has officially endorsed the activity and supports the further development.
</p>
<p>
Our thanks for support, suggestions and feedback on the mapping go out to the following people (in alphabetical order): <em>Thomas Bandholtz, John Breslin, Lin Clark, Stéphane Corlosquet, Hugh Glaser, Pat Hayes, Sebastian Heath, Aidan Hogan, Gregg Kellogg, Holger Knublauch, Kingsley Idehen, Giovanni Tummarello, Bernard Vatant, Csaba Veres</em>.
