Hi all,
the last portion of the original post [1] has an interesting bit on
this:
"Wherever possible, we'll simply reuse vocabulary that is in wide use:
we support the pre-existing vCard and hReview types, and there are a
variety of other types defined by various communities. Sites that use
Google Custom Search will be able to define their own types, which we
will index and present to users in rich Custom Search results pages.
Finally, we encourage and expect this space to evolve based on new
ideas from the structured data community. We'll notice and reach out
when our crawlers pick up new types that are getting broad use."
So let's see if their crawlers will indeed notice some "new types"
that they don't have yet ;)
Cheers,
Christian

Hi Peter,
don't know. In a O'Reilly about Google's RDFa support, Guha says
that they draw and plan to draw from existing vocabularies.
"And we're not going to do this all by ourselves. As it is, we are
drawing from several sources. We're drawing from microformats. We're
drawing from vCard. And there are other places that you will see.
And there's other people who know more about their topics than we
could possibly know. And we'll draw on all of these things. So to
come back and answer your question, we hope that the scope of this
will be substantially more than the scope of all the particular data
types that work today by microformats."

Unlike Yahoo SearchMonkey, Google has chosen to mock up their own
ontologies instead of recognising existing vocabularies.

Very nice. After Yahoo SearchMonkey has been around for a while,
things are
now also moving at Google.

Quite preliminary, but still noteworthy. See
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-
snippets.html
They are also searching for new vocabularies and data sources that
they can
potentially support, I guess they will soon support the popular
vocabularies
(FOAF, SIOC etc.) that are also supported by Yahoo Search Monkey
[1].
Maybe
we (the HCLS IG) could come up with a biomedical demo scenario based
on RDFa
and propose that to Google?
