About

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.

Twitter Cards are a metadata format used by X, originally Twitter, that enables links in posts to display rich previews with images, videos, and interactive media to increase engagement and traffic.

They are defined via specialized meta tags embedded in web pages, support multiple card types, and enable previews such as articles with images and descriptions, app install prompts, and embedded audio or video players with playback controls.
