Structured Data
Machine-readable markup (JSON-LD, Microdata) that explicitly defines entities, properties and relationships.
Overview
Structured Data provides AI systems with explicitly defined information rather than requiring them to infer meaning from unstructured content.
Structured Data for AI
Structured Data explicitly defines entities, their properties and relationships in machine-readable formats. This allows AI systems to extract information programmatically rather than parsing natural language.
Structured Data formats
JSON-LD: The preferred format for web-based structured data. Placed in script tags in the page head.
Microdata: HTML attributes that annotate existing content. Less flexible than JSON-LD.
RDFa: HTML5 extension for embedding RDF data. Used in specific enterprise contexts.
