About
Microformats (μF) are a set of standardized 
HTML class names and attributes used to embed descriptive metadata within existing page content for entities such as people, events, reviews, and blog posts.
The original Microformats v1 specification defined formats such as hCard for people and organizations, hCalendar for events, hReview for reviews, hRecipe for recipes, and hProduct for commerce data, using conventional HTML class attributes.
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.
