If I understand correctly, schema.org basically uses more or less flat 
property lists, which can be extended.
"Both kinds of extensions typically add subclasses and properties to the 
core. Properties may be added to existing and/or new classes. More 
generally, they are an overlay on top of the core, and so they may add 
domains/ranges, superclasses, etc. as well. Extensions have to be 
consistent with the core schema.org."

The fundamental difference to the CIDOC CRM methodology is that we 
require coverage of new properties by core superproperties, and that we 
radically harmonize sibling extensions not to develop parallel concepts. 
Without property subsumption, true information integration is not 
possible. The complexity of querying will either increase with each 
extension, or you simply loose relevant relations in your queries, 
because new properties have no generalization. The common superclass 
does not generalize the connectivity of the data, only the applicability 
of less and less common properties.

Without harmonizing extensions, common semantics between extensions stay 
uncorrelated. For instance, INSPIRE contains three different models of 
scientific observation, coming from different specialized disciplines, 
without being really different. Harmonization needs a considerable 
coordination effort.

Therefore, schema.org models can be mapped (easily) into a CRM world, 
but not CRM & extensions be put under schema.org.

All the best,

Martin
