It's one schema pattern, but definitely not standardized. The homepage you link to also does not claim standardization.

The json schema isn't a standard but is ubiquitous in California and in advertising (IAB standards). I dont know of anyone using another, or why you might.

It's like saying ruby isn't the only ruby language because it isn't a formal standard. So what?

Ruby is perhaps not an ideal example, since it is in fact a formal standard (ISO/IEC 30170). Admittedly not updated beyond 1.8, but still.
