Microdata

=GoodRelations and Microdata Syntax=

While many Web vocabularies are tied to a single syntax, GoodRelations can be used in a variety of syntaxes, namely


 * RDFa,
 * Microdata,
 * Turtle (RDF),
 * RDF/XML (RDF,
 * JSON,
 * GData, and
 * OData.

For Web developers, RDFa and Microdata are the most important ones. We do not want to enter the discussion whether one of the two is better on this page, since both can be used in similar ways. In short one can say that
 * RDFa integrates better into the larger W3C Semantic Web technology stack while *Microdata has significant advantages from the perspective of adding meta-data to HTML markup.
