Cross-platform file tagging standards include Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), an ISO standard for embedding metadata into popular image, video and document file formats, such as JPEG and PDF, without breaking their readability by applications that do not support XMP. [31] XMP largely supersedes the earlier IPTC Information Interchange Model.
Schema.org is a reference website that publishes documentation and guidelines for using structured data mark-up on web-pages (called microdata).Its main objective is to standardize HTML tags to be used by webmasters for creating rich results (displayed as visual data or infographic tables on search engine results) about a certain topic of interest.
