@robinberjon @marcosc glad to hear JSONLD helped inspire incubation model. Will look for repo.
Google because, well one small group in Google to be fair, because:
(1) they (that small group) bullied Microsoft and their search engine licensee Yahoo into the original "co-launching" (in name only) of schema_org. Oligopoly/collusion etc.
(2) they (same small group) did introduce (AFAIK) the "embed JSONLD in a script tag in HTML" (AKA JSONLD data islands) thing which is the latest DRY-violating thing SEOs are shoving into other people’s pages, which means it won’t get maintained, will get out of sync with the actual visible content of the page, turn into noise/junk like meta keywords, and Google will stop indexing the noise (long before 15 years from now) and switch to some other thing. They do this every 2-3 years. See also GoogleBase/GBase. data-vocabulary. etc.
@robinberjon @marcosc implemented by whom? when? what real live website(s)? + Google made-up JSONLD data islands in HTML right? Where was that incubated? Or was it just declared by fiat by Google?
@robinberjon @marcosc incubated like recent doings in @W3C @microformats @indiewebcamp. Implement before WD etc. Make the proposer(s) actually build their brainstorm and show it (preferably on their own site) before accepting anything like a spec.
Treat all architecture astronomy/astronaut* proposals as experiments for ideas and nothing more.

@robinberjon @marcosc ignore if not incubated
Not incubated: RDFa microdata JSONLD
Incubated: #microformats2 and most of #hcard #hcalendar #hatom
(some old microformats and some properties were also not incubated and were dropped and not carried forward to microformats2 vocabularies.)
Also ignore stuff that the inventors do not selfdogfood¹ on their own websites, e.g.:
* microdata: @Hixie never used it on hixie.ch
* schema_org: Guha never used it on his site.
etc.

@robinberjon @marcosc's right, it's dropped.
Microdata ~dead. No community.
#IndieWeb uses @microformats.
SEOs are fickle and hack whatever Google advises this year, currently that seems to be DRY-violating JSONLD data islands (reinventing Microsoft’s XML data islands of 15 years ago: tantek.com/2015/020/t2/google-reinvents-microsoft-xml-data-islands).
