I have two websites: www.mycompany.com and shopmycompany.com (not a subdomain) and would like to publish the relationship between them using schema.org. At present the www.mycompany.com identifies itself as an Organization and shopmycompany.com as a WebSite but there is no linkage between them. What would be best practices to present that connection?
Just from a quick skimming of https://schema.org/WebSite, there are multiple properties that would be fine as linking the website with the company:
author/creator
maintainer
provider
publisher
However, I wonder whether the Shop really should classified as a WebSite (which is a CreativeWork) and not rather as a Store which may simply have a parentOrganisation.
Yet another alternative would be to classify it as a Service, which is provided by the Organisation and can offer things.
And yet another alternative could be to classify the shop website as the OfferCatalog of offers made by the company.

I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this.
I would like to purchase the Developer package on Github and set up multiple static sites on completely different custom domains (not subdomains). For example, with one Github Developer account (username: SampleUsername), create a blog about horses (horsesblog.com), a blog about cats (catsblog.com) and a blog about dogs (dogsblog.com).
The key here is that they are all on separate private project repositories within the SampleUsername account and are completely independent of each other.
Is this possible?
Running multiple sites on different apex domains in GitHub Pages is entirely possible!
You just need to add the relevant A records (or ALIAS/ANAME is supported) for the domain.
I just launched my personal website to advertise my services for front-end web development and digital art.
I'm looking into adding Schema.org structured data to the page but cannot find a list of organization/person types to use for a freelance/contractor.
Any insight on what Schema.org types I might want to include on my site for my specific niche?
I use http://schema.org/Person for this. You might want to consider http://schema.org/Corporation as well. Depending on how you want to market yourself. I.E. freelancer vs company.
I am creating a website form my enterprise and I wonder how/how many snippets I should use on my homepage.
I know they are separate into multiple categories such as
local business or more generic organization, events, product etc.
I have read this post:
Homepage Rich Snippets
And this one:
Multiple Schema.org Product items & how will it look like in search engine result?
In my case on my homepage (let's say index.html) I want to present my activity, put some links to the services/products I propose, and show incoming events.
Which snippet(s) should I use?
1) Only one such as organization? (my services are not available directly so I suppose it is not a local business category)
2) Or should I put several snippets: organization + event + products
because all three categories are described/present on my homepage?
According to a Google employee, Google Search won’t show Rich Snippets for homepages. But this is not documented, and it might change anytime.
From the perspective of Schema.org, it’s fine to provide as much data as possible. If you have multiple entities on your homepage, you can use multiple Schema.org types to describe them.
If one of these entities can be considered the primary entity (for example, on an organization’s website it would typically be the entity for the organization itself), you can use the mainEntity property for it.
There are a ton of online CMS services out there. And a ton of (new) backend-as-a-service products too. But I can't seem to find what I am looking for.
I am building an app for a client. The app contains data about shops, products, and more. The client must be able to update this data (and not just one person: each shop manager needs to be able to log in and edit the data for their own shop). And of course the app must be able to access this data.
Client edits data online
This has to be extremely user-friendly and completely online. I don't want to sell my client something where they need to install stuff on their server. I don't want to sell them something that's accessible online but looks like phpMyAdmin.
I want a shop owner to be able to go to a webpage, log in, and then see a pretty UI where they can edit the data for their shop. The back-end needs to have a pretty front-end that's auto-generated for whatever data this particular shop owner is allowed to edit.
So there are two bits: storing data in the cloud in such a way that it can be accessed by the app (which I am building with Titanium), and allowing the client to log into the backend and edit the data in a non-tech, user-friendly way.
Here's a list of things I tried...
Backend-as-a-service
Services with a great back-end, but without easy auto-generated data editing website:
Appcelerator (Titanium) Cloud Service
Amazon EC2
Stackmob
BackBeam
WebVanta
Parse
API o Mat
ShepHertz Cloud42
Kii
Online CMS
Services that provide a nice way for clients to edit data, but no easy way for apps to connect:
CloudCMS
(and many others I'm sure)
It's insane that no-one seems to be providing the cross-breed of BaaS and online CMS. So many people are building apps for clients, and so many clients are not tech-savvy and are reluctant to get a special server and host database software they don't understand. Why does this not exist? What am I missing?
With apiOmat it's easy to create your own data-editing app for e.g. with JavaScript SDK and HTML. Or you send a feature request so that they build a module for your preferred CMS.
As you mentioned, Cloud CMS is a really good option (disclaimer: I'm one of the founders). The product provides an enterprise content management backend and an API that lets you plug in some really powerful features right into your mobile apps.
This month, we released a brand new user interface which provides much of what you're asking about. Instant forms, document libraries, search and workflow all in one place.
You can check out Cloud CMS here: http://www.cloudcms.com
I completely agree with your assessment particularly with respect to the last mile (getting the final app built). It's kind of the wild west out there and the strong technologies are still proving out.
You mentioned Titanium - that's a good choice. I also quite like the Ionic Framework (http://www.drifty.com/). It's a step in the right direction.
I have a customer who runs an event ticket sales site. The site uses several APIs that interface with ticket sales companies. Users view ticket/seat availability for a specific event in the form of a Google Map that plots seat availaiblity on the venue image for the event.
The site was written using ASP.NET 3.5 and deployed to the customer's server without source code. Some changes were made by a previous developer by de-compiliing the existing DLL and making subsequent changes. Thus, the original source code is not usable and not available.
My customer is interested in URL routing as an enhancment and use of "friendly" URLs instead of the long query string for each event.
What are some good benefits of using ASP.NET MVC2 for the redevelopment of the site? Besides URL Routing, what other improvements can we site in a non-technical way?
Thanks much for your help!!
