Simple Metadata makes possible to describe the content of the site with schema.org properties.

In the selection of Classes and properties, we where motivated by the principles of simplicity and practicality. 'Simplicity' led to an extremely small set of terms, whilst 'practicality' limited the scope of terms to reflect the most important elements.

Simple Metadata just offer properties from WordPress core fields:

  • Home page will use from Blog and WebSite class: inLanguage, name, description & URL properties

  • Page related content will use from WebPage class: lastReviewed, author, dateCreated, datePublished, editor, headline and thumbnailUrl properties

  • Post related content will use from Article class and subclasses: articleBody, articleSection, wordCount, author, dateCreated, dateModified, datePublished, editor, headline, keywords, logo, publisher, thumbnailUrl and image properties.

That metadata works without the requeriment of interaction of the autors with the plugin. If more metadata is required, you must install an extension with the specifical required metadata. And to fill the new fields created by the extensions. The primary motivation behind that model is to enable a decentralized extension of the vocabulary.

Simple Metadata is the base that will make possible all the different descriptions for different situations.
