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 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.
