It's kind of funny how specific some of those changes are.

Isn't this the whole point of the semantic web - making information machine readable so that humans don't have to visit the web page anymore?

Is there a way for me to search what schemas are defined? Say I wanted a Schema for what I think of as a "Protein" or "Gene", how would I know that one exists or that I should write one myself?

There is a full list here: https://schema.org/docs/full.html

Thank you!

But is it there really anyone using schemas? Until know, I've seen almost no example of real usage in production services. Can somebody point me to some real cases?

Some real use cases: bestbuy.com, target.com, apple.com, us.gov, samsung.com, canada.ca, … I could go on. I've read nearly a third of sites use it, especially the larger ones, but also sites that run Wordpress. All with different degrees of depth, but any use can add precision to search and data, that anyone (not just Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex) can use.

There are lots of services where getting the information to interested parties is the goal, and getting website visitors is only useful as a means to that go, rather than the other way around.

If that's not your interest, well, no one is making you use schema.org semantic markup.

I used to implement Schema.org for everything that was possible in my previous projects.

Now, working on a new project, I think I'm only going to stick with 'breadcrumbs' and that's it.

The thing is that I don't like how Google is evolving. The "take everything and use it for their own profit" attitude while giving less and less space to the publishers as time goes by.

But is it there really anyone using schemas? According to this page[1], " Over 10 million sites use Schema.org to markup their web pages and email messages. ". Can somebody point me to some real cases? See this Quora thread[2]. [1]: https://schema.org/ [2]: https://www.quora.com/Who-has-examples-of-websites-which-hav...
