 ##### Properties
 
-The OpenAPI Schema Object is a JSON Schema vocabulary which extends JSON Schema Core and Validation vocabularies. As such any keyword available for those vocabularies is by definition available in OpenAPI, and will work the exact same way.
+The OpenAPI Schema Object [dialect](https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-core.html#rfc.section.4.3.3) is defined as requiring the [OAS base vocabulary](#baseVocabulary), in addition to the vocabularies as specified in the JSON Schema draft 2019-09 [general purpose meta-schema](http://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-core.html#rfc.section.8).

+The following properties are taken from the JSON Schema specification but their definitions have been extended by the OAS:
 
 - description - [CommonMark syntax](http://spec.commonmark.org/) MAY be used for rich text representation.
 - format - See [Data Type Formats](#dataTypeFormat) for further details. While relying on JSON Schema's defined formats, the OAS offers a few additional predefined formats.
 
-In addition to the JSON Schema properties defined in the vocabularies defined in the JSON Schema Core and JSON Schema Validation specifications, any properties can be used from any vocabularies, or entirely arbitrary keywords. The OpenAPI Specification defines an additional vocabulary of keywords which MAY be used along with the JSON Schema vocabulary keywords for further schema description:

-It is important for tooling to be able to detect what meta-schema any given resource wishes to be processed with: JSON Schema Core, JSON Schema Validation, OpenAPI Schema Object, or some custom meta schema.
+The `$schema` keyword MAY be present in any root Schema Object, and if present MUST be used to determine which dialect should be used when processing the schema. This allows use of Schema Objects which comply with other drafts of JSON Schema than the default Draft 2019-09 support. Tooling MUST support the <a href="#dialectSchemaId">OAS dialect schema id</a>, and MAY support additional values of `$schema`.
 
-`$schema` MAY be present in any Schema Object, and if present MUST be used to determine which dialect should be used when processing the schema.
+To allow use of a different default `$schema` value for all Schema Objects contained within an OAS document, a `jsonSchemaDialect` value may be set within the <a href="#oasObject">OpenAPI Object</a>. If this default is not set, then the OAS dialact schema id MUST be used for these Schema Objects. The value of `$schema` within a Schema Object always overrides any default.
 
-When `$schema` is not present, the default the following dialect MUST be assumed: `$schema: "https://spec.openapis.org/oas/3.1/schema-object"`.
+When a Schema Object is referenced from an external resource which is not an OAS document (e.g. a bare JSON Schema resource), then the value of the `$schema` keyword for schemas within that resource MUST follow [JSON Schema rules](https://json-schema.org/draft/2019-09/json-schema-core.html#rfc.section.8.1.1).
