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. As a result, major news publishers globally have integrated semantic data into their websites, and the entire web is better for it!

The IPTC had significant impact and leadership in the development of the W3C ODRL specifications that is the underlying framework for RightsML. Their insight and experience has driven both standards to be world-leading in the domain of rights management.
