About
e-GMS, the UK e-Government Metadata Standard, published by Cabinet Office, is a definition of the metadata elements that should be applied to public sector information assets.
Microdata is an 
HTML specification used to embed structured metadata within web page content by annotating elements with machine-readable attributes.
It uses attributes such as itemscope, itemtype, and itemprop to define entities and their properties directly in markup, supports vocabularies such as Schema.org, and is one of the structured data formats supported by Google alongside 
JSON-LD and 
RDFa.
