Is Schema markup inappropriate for ?

[eglove]

Is Schema(.org) markup meant specifically to be used on text? Or can you use it in a similar way that you can use Open Graph Protocol?

For example, for awhile I've been using something like this on my site:

Because it's in the head section, it appears on every page. In review, this seems to be an incorrect use? Should I only be using Schema to mark specific text? If not, what are the consequences of using Schema like this?

Thats the Json-LD Mark-Up for a person, wich you can use with google like the microdate. It doesn’t matter if you place it in the or the section, Google will have no problem reading the code. It could look like that:

1. <script< span="">type="application/ld+json"></script<>
2. {
3. "@context":"http://schema.org",
4. "@type":"Person",
5. "address":{
6. "@type":"PostalAddress",
7. "addressLocality":"Seattle",
8. "addressRegion":"WA",
9. "postalCode":"98052",
10. "streetAddress":"20341 Whitworth Institute 405 N. Whitworth"
11. },
12. "colleague":[
13. "http://www.xyz.edu/students/alicejones.html",
14. "http://www.xyz.edu/students/bobsmith.html"
15. ],
16. "email":"mailto:jane-doe@xyz.edu",
17. "image":"janedoe.jpg",
18. "jobTitle":"Professor",
19. "name":"Jane Doe",
20. "telephone":"(425) 123-4567",
21. "url":"http://www.janedoe.com"
22. }

I know what it is and how to use it, that's not the question.

When you use JSON-LD, specifically in something like the head section, you're using it without context. When this code appears on every page, it's labeling a person that may or may not be mentioned.

From the Google Developer Page on 'Specify your social profiles,'

"The social profiles in your markup must correspond to the ones that users can see on the same page."

It sounds like using this method within the head, especially with phone numbers, email, address, URL, etc., can be marked as either A) hidden text, or B) as something that would cause the rest of your markup to be ignored.

In this case... why would you ever use JSON-LD? It would never directly point to the object that's marked up like the HTML version does.

Maybe that helps clarify the question,

"In review, this seems to be an incorrect use? Should I only be using Schema to mark specific text? If not, what are the consequences of using Schema like this?"

When, exactly, is it appropriate and inappropriate to use Schema? I'm looking for an expansion in details that the Google Developer page doesn't mention. Maybe someone has been using and studying it for awhile?
