Scope & multilingual behavior of Microdata schema annotations coming with Core components

[Hemalatha]

Hi,

As mentioned in the Adobe Doc for core components, I could see certain components are by default annotated with microdata format to enable SEO schema for those components. Is it applicable for all core components and how multi lingual schema will be handled in this case. Do we need any custom implementation for the same. 

SEO-Friendly

The HTML output is semantic and provides shema.org microdata annotations.

Also, I could see JSON-LD is recommended way to add Schema for Web content, with microdata schema are there any real time usage issue. Kindly clarify.

Hi @Hemalatha 
You can look for JSON-LD implementations on github.

Hi Arun,

Thanks for the reply. The link is not working, can you check once. Also If I use JSON_LD approach and my core components will have microdata by default, hope that wont cause any confusion to Search engines while indexing content. Can you please clarify on this. Thanks.

Hi @Hemalatha 
In that case you need to remove the microdata, here is the clarification

Following core components are using the microdata

1. Image

2. Breadcrumb

3. Navigation

4. Teaser

Thanks for the clarification @arunpatidar.

Also I got a link form Google which confirms that we can implement any schema types as and when needed for components. All 3 formats will be recognized.
