About

Dublin Core is a metadata element set used to describe documents and other digital or physical resources in a standardized way.

It defines 15 core elements including title, creator, subject, description, publisher, and date, and provides a simple, extensible schema that supports cross-domain resource description and interoperability across different systems.

oEmbed is an open format that allows websites to embed representations of external URLs such as videos, images, and posts from third-party services.

It defines a simple API that returns structured metadata in JSON or XML for generating content previews, and supports multiple content types including video, photo, link, and rich embeds.
