Schema.org v1.4 update: examples, examples, examples...

We've just posted an update to the schema.org site, focussing on improved examples. Our last update introduced a new property called workPerformed which relates an Event to a CreativeWork performed at the event. Today's improvements add examples of this property to MusicEvent and TheaterEvent.

There are also new JSON-LD examples for MusicEvent, alongside additions showing RDFa, Microdata and JSON-LD examples for various local business-related types including Restaurant, StorePharmacy, Corporation, PostalAddress,  Organization, ContactPoint and OpeningHoursSpecification. This update also includes improvements to the navigation for MedicalEnumeration types, alongside fixes for several other typos and glitches - both of which are thanks to Dan Scott.

Finally, it's worth highlighting the recent addition of substantial vocabulary for describing Reservations, as well as a type for describing an EmailMessage. These complement the schema.org Actions design announced last month.
