The IPTC brought openness, flexibility, tenacity and deep domain expertise to their participation in the Schema.org effort, and our cooperation set the standard for all others that followed.

IPTC was instrumental in developing the rNews standard, now part of the Schema.org standard, and Parse.ly uses this markup as the basis for our content analytics platform.
