 OpenAPI 3.0.X JSON Schema
 ---
 
-Here you can find the JSON Schema for validating OpenAPI definitions of versions 3.0.X.
+This directory contains the YAML source for generating the JSON Schema for validating OpenAPI definitions of versions 3.0.X, which is published on [https://spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org).
 
-As a reminder, the JSON Schema is not the source of truth for the Specification. In cases of conflicts between the Specification itself and the JSON Schema, the Specification wins. Also, some Specification constraints cannot be represented with the JSON Schema so it's highly recommended to employ other methods to ensure compliance.
+Due to limitations of GitHub pages, the schemas on the spec site are served with `Content-Type: application/octet-stream`, but should be interpreted as `application/schema+json`.
+
+The source in this directory, which has `WORK-IN-PROGRESS` in its `id`, is _not intended for direct use_.
+
+## Schema `id` dates
+
+The published schemas on the spec site have an _iteration date_ in their `id`s.
+This allows the schemas for a release line (in this case 3.0) to be updated independent of the spec patch release cycle.
 
 The iteration version of the JSON Schema can be found in the `id` field. For example, the value of `id: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.0/schema/2019-04-02` means this iteration was created on April 2nd, 2019.
 
-To submit improvements to the schema, modify the schema.yaml file only.
+The special URL with `latest` in place of the date is intended to provide an HTTP redirect to the most recent dated schema.
+
+## Improving the schema

+As a reminder, the JSON Schema is not the source of truth for the Specification. In cases of conflicts between the Specification itself and the JSON Schema, the Specification wins. Also, some Specification constraints cannot be represented with the JSON Schema so it's highly recommended to employ other methods to ensure compliance.
+
+The schema only validates the mandatory aspects of the OAS.
+Validating requirements that are optional, or field usage that has undefined or ignored behavior are not within the scope of this schema.
+Schemas to perform additional optional validation are [under consideration](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/4141).
 
-The TSC will then:
-- Run tests on the updated schema
-- Update the iteration version
-- Convert the schema.yaml to schema.json
-- Publish the new version
+Improvements can be submitted by opening a PR against the `main` branch.

-# OpenAPI 3.1.X JSON Schema
+OpenAPI 3.1.X JSON Schema
+---
 
-Here you can find the JSON Schema for validating OpenAPI definitions of versions
-3.1.X.
+This directory contains the YAML sources for generating the JSON Schemas for validating OpenAPI definitions of versions 3.1.X, which are published on [https://spec.openapis.org](https://spec.openapis.org).
 
-As a reminder, the JSON Schema is not the source of truth for the Specification.
-In cases of conflicts between the Specification itself and the JSON Schema, the
-Specification wins. Also, some Specification constraints cannot be represented
-with the JSON Schema so it's highly recommended to employ other methods to
-ensure compliance.
+Due to limitations of GitHub pages, the schemas on the spec site are served with `Content-Type: application/octet-stream`, but should be interpreted as `application/schema+json`.
 
-The iteration version of the JSON Schema can be found in the `$id` field. For
-example, the value of `$id: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/schema/2021-03-02`
-means this iteration was created on March 2nd, 2021.
+The sources in this directory, which have `WORK-IN-PROGRESS` in their `$id`s, is _not intended for direct use_.
 
-The `schema.yaml` schema doesn't validate the JSON Schemas in your OpenAPI
-document because 3.1 allows you to use any JSON Schema dialect you choose. We
-have also included `schema-base.yaml` that extends the main schema to validate
-that all schemas use the default OAS base vocabulary.
+## Choosing which schema to use
 
-## Contributing
-To submit improvements to the schema, modify the schema.yaml file only.
+There are two schemas to choose from for 3.1 usage, both of which have an `$id` that starts with `https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/` and end with date or the `WORK-IN-PROGRESS` placeholder:
 
-The TSC will then:
-- Run tests on the updated schema
-- Update the iteration version
-- Convert the schema.yaml to schema.json
-- Publish the new version
+* `https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/schema/{date}` — A self-contained schema that _does not_ validate Schema Objects beyond `type: [object, boolean]`
+* `https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/meta/base/{date}` — The vocabulary metaschema for OAS 3.1's extensions to draft 2020-12
+* `https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/dialect/base/{date}` — The dialect metaschema that extends the standard `draft/2020-12` metaschema by adding the OAS "base" vocabulary
+* `https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/schema-base/{date}` — A schema that combines the self-contained schema and the "base" dialect schema to validate Schema Objects with the dialect; this schema does not allow changing `$schema` or `jsonSchemaDialect` to other dialects
 
-## Tests
-The test suite is included as a git submodule of https://github.com/Mermade/openapi3-examples.
+The name "base" for the dialect was intended to indicate that the OAS dialect could be further extended.
 
-```bash
-npx mocha --recursive tests
-```
+An additional schema that validates the Schema Object with the OAS 3.1 dialect but does not restrict changing `$schema` is [under consideration](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/issues/4147).
 
-You can also validate a document individually.
+## Schema `$id` dates
 
-```bash
-scripts/validate.js path/to/document/to/validate.yaml
-```
+The published schemas on the spec site have an _iteration date_ in their `id`s.
+This allows the schemas for a release line (in this case 3.0) to be updated independent of the spec patch release cycle.
+
+The iteration version of the JSON Schema can be found in the `$id` field. For example, the value of `$id: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/schema/2021-03-02`
+The special URL with `latest` in place of the date is intended to provide an HTTP redirect to the most recent dated schema.
