Google just announced that it's taking the next step toward deeper JSON-LD integration across all their search products. "Google is in the process of adding JSON-LD support to more markup-powered features. So far, JSON-LD is supported for all Knowledge Graph features, sitelink search boxes, and Event Rich Snippets; Google recommends the use of JSON-LD for those features." "Also, Google can read JSON-LD data even when it is dynamically injected into the page's contents, such as by Javascript code or embedded 'widgets'." https://developers.google.com/webmasters/structured-data/schema-org So, I think most of you know where I'm headed with this. The sooner we get the Credentials/OBI vocabulary integrated into schema.org the better. There's an entire industry (talent scouting / recruiting) that would love to be able to scan your resume in a machine-readable / verifiable way. The hard work is done - Google's Schema.org is now reading JSON-LD from all web pages. The easier part is going to be pushing the vocabulary into schema.org. It's not guaranteed to succeed, but if it does, we'll have a badges/credentials vocabulary that Google/Yandex/Yahoo/and Microsoft understands.
