About
A profile, not a new standard
Builds on schema.org and existing open standards, instead of inventing a new one.
Free for anyone to use
Public domain (CC0 1.0). Any government, vendor, or project can use it, free, without asking permission.
Works across countries
No country's identifiers, government tiers, or naming conventions are built in, so it fits governments everywhere.
Who this is for
Who schemaGov supports.
Executives
Service managers
Digital teams
Vendors
Policy makers
Analysts
Profiles
Domain profiles schemaGov has built so far.
The basic building blocks every other profile depends on: jurisdictions, organizations, people, and the roles people hold.
