About

JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data (JSON-LD) is a lightweight linked data format used to embed structured data into web pages in a machine-readable form.

It is based on JSON and standardized by the W3C, uses context mapping to link data to the Schema.org vocabulary, allows embedding via script tags without affecting page markup, and supports graph-based structures for representing entities and their relationships.

The Open Graph protocol is a web metadata standard that defines how webpages are described as structured objects for use in social graphs and enables their consistent representation.

It specifies a set of HTML meta properties that start with "og:" (such as og:title, og:type, og:image, and og:description) to add semantic meaning to a page's content and control how that content should be represented.
