I noticed on public-w3process list proposal by Sam Ruby on how WHATWG
and W3C could collaborate:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-w3process/2014Nov/0147.html

Schema.org may already work much closer with W3C thanks to Web Schemas
group, but it looks like we still need more clarity on collaboration
strategy.

Currently James M Snell works in W3C Social WG on Activity Streams
Extended/Expanded Vocabulary:

While I must admit finding it amazing that he wrote tons of great
examples in JSON-LD, Microdata, RDFa, Microformats and Turtle. I also
still see it as certain duplication of efforts and possibly creating
parallel and not well aligned web universes (Please let me know if I
sound like an old broken record)

I wonder if possibility exists to publish Schema.org snapshots in W3C
namespace. I think this would open much stronger possibility for
aligning Schema.org, Activity Streams and other efforts. Also hopefully
would address concerns related to dependence on schema.org ___domain
controlled by Google Inc.

To finish on positive side, I also try to follow recent conversations in
Hydra CG about common grounds with Data Shapes:

I recall Sandro Hawke mentioning its relevance during Schema.org +
Social WG meeting at TPAC!

Ciao :)
