How "much" schema.org is "too much"?

[Titan552]

1. In terms of adding schema.org information to web pages, how critical is it for SERP?

2. Can anyone recommend a model of what to tag?  For example, on a single blog post I could tag the "article" and the "author", but I could also tag the logo that's in the header on every page.  How much is "enough"?

3. What is the relationship between schema.org and rel="author" tags?

Thank you!

1. Not critical but helps and gets a message across much better visually.

2. Speaking of visually and what to tag, this infographic gives you a general start of what to tag: http://moz.com/blog/a-visual-guide-to-rich-snippets

3. Rel=author is one type out of many ways to add rich snippets described in schema.org.  Used to show in SERPs the author of the article.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply.  The link is great!

And other than "rel=author" (which I know shows up ), are there other "critical" ones to have?
