oEmbed is an open format that allows websites to embed representations of external URLs such as videos, images, and posts from third-party services.

RDFa (Resource Description Framework in Attributes) is an extension to HTML5 that embeds structured metadata within page content by adding attributes based on the RDF data model.

It uses HTML attributes such as vocab, typeof, and property to describe entities like people, places, events, recipes, and reviews, supports multiple vocabularies such as Schema.org, Dublin Core, and GoodRelations, and is one of the structured data formats supported by Google alongside JSON-LD and Microdata.
