233 Microdata Composing, Example, HTML, Microdata, Reference, SEO, Search
Microdata is part of the WHATWG HTML Standard and is used to nest metadata within existing content on web pages. Search engines and web crawlers can extract and process microdata from a web page and use it to provide a richer browsing experience for users. Search engines benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data because it allows search engines to understand the information on web pages and provide more relevant results to users. Microdata uses a supporting vocabulary to describe an item and name-value pairs to assign values to its properties. Microdata is an attempt to provide a simpler way of annotating HTML elements with machine-readable tags than the similar approaches of using RDFa and classic microformats.
234 Microformats Composing, HTML, Microformats, NeedsContent, NeedsMarkupWork, Reference, SEO, Search
Microformats (sometimes abbreviated μF) are standards used to embed semantics & structured data in HTML, and provide an API to be used by search engines, aggregators, and other tools. These minimal patterns of HTML are used for marking up entities that range from fundamental to domain-specific information, such as people, organizations, events, and locations. Microformats use supporting vocabularies to describe objects and name-value pairs to assign values to their properties. The properties are carried in class attributes that can be added to any HTML element, while the data values re-use HTML element content and semantic attributes. Microformats2 is an update to microformats that provides a simpler way of annotating HTML structured syntax & vocabularies than previous approaches of using RDFa and microdata which require learning new attributes.
