About

Microformats are a set of defined HTML classes and attributes created to serve as descriptive metadata about an element, representing commonly published things like people, events, blog posts, reviews, and so on.

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook.
