The NDE Schema.org Application Profile defines a curated set of schema.org terms for cultural heritage data. Version 1.6.0 adds a property table to each class section, improving documentation of available fields. It also introduces warnings for sameAs values that are not HTTP/HTTPS URIs and for temporalCoverage dates with language tags or non‑date datatypes, helping authors avoid invalid metadata. Several bug fixes restore type coercions in the JSON‑LD context and tighten validation of Occupation and URL properties.
