Schema.org is a joint effort, in the spirit of sitemaps.org,to improve the web by creating a structured data markupschema supported by major search engines. On-pagemarkup helps search engines understand the informationon web pages and provide richer search results. Ashared markup vocabulary makes easier for webmastersto decide on a markup schema and get the maximumbenefit for their efforts. Search engines want to make iteasier for people to find relevant information on the web.Markup can also enable new tools and applications thatmake use of the structure.

…easier for people to find relevant information…

Will schema.org increase page rank? Probably not, but there is more to making information easier to find than that http://blogs.cetis.ac.uk/philb/2012/05/25/will-using-schemaorg-metadata-improve-my-google-rank/

…joint effort … supported by major search engines… RDFa (and more) Our approach is "Microdata and more". As implementations and services begin to consume RDFa 1.1, publishers with an interest in mixing schema.org with additional vocabularies, or who are using tools like Drupal 7, may find RDFa well worth exploring. http://blog.schema.org/2012/06/semtech-rdfa-microdata-and-more.html
