Schema.org structured data

Project for creating structured data

Definition

Schema.org is a reference website that publishes documentation and guidelines for using structured data mark-up on web-pages. Its main objective is to standardize HTML tags to be used by webmasters for creating rich results about a certain topic of interest. It is a part of the semantic web project, which aims to make document mark-up codes more readable and meaningful to both humans and machines.

How this term shows up in flipbook work

If you spend time publishing flipbooks, you will run into Schema.org in one of three places: in the export settings of your design tool, in a compliance or accessibility audit, or in a conversation with an integrator. Knowing the term well enough to recognise it in those moments saves a meeting. The full Wikipedia article, linked below, goes much deeper into the history and the standards bodies behind it — we keep this glossary short on purpose so it stays useful as a quick reference.
