Microdata

Also known as: microdata

A way to mark structured data directly in HTML elements.

A practical example

Attributes describe a product's name and properties within its view.

What should I know?

Don't create conflicting descriptions of one object in different formats.

Data and entities in practice

First identify the object you're describing and your evidence. A product, offer, brand, and seller may need separate identifiers. Machine-readable data should match information customers can see and understand.
