Schema.org

Description

This project is a drop-in solution to enable the collections of schemas available at schema.org on your Drupal 7 site. The major search engines including Bing, Google and Yahoo! have agreed to recognized these in order to improve the display of search results.

Documentation

Screencast: learn how to use this module to build Google Rich Snippets for people, events and recipes.

Features

Sites administrators can specify what schema.org terms they want to associate with their content types (e.g. Art Gallery, House, Event, Person, etc.) and their fields (description, participants, etc).

Syntax

The syntax generated by this module is the one of Drupal 7 core: RDFa 1.0. Note that this syntax is not officially supported by schema.org, which supports microdata and RDFa Lite 1.1. If you prefer to use microdata, please see the Drupal microdata module.

RDFa 1.0 has been supported by Google since 2009 for the first version of its Rich Snippets and its Data Vocabulary. Although this is not documented anywhere, Google recently started to show Rich Snippets for schema.org/RDFa in its testing tool (example) and in live search results (example). This module relies on this non official feature as an interim solution while transitioning from RDFa 1.0 to RDFa 1.1. This module will be updated as this syntax becomes stable and supported by the schema.org sponsors.

Known incompatibilities

Because this module relies on the RDFa markup of Drupal core, it suffers from these limitations:
- complex fields such as addressfield, fivestar are not supported out of the box
- under certain conditions views and panels will override or produce incorrect RDFa markup
Please check out the Microdata module instead which supports these scenarios.

Status

This module has been successfully tested to produce Rich Snippets on both live results and the Google Rich Snippets testing tool.

Live search results produced by this module:
- Event: World Women's Curling Championships 2013
- Listing of events
- Recipe

Google Rich Snippets testing tool examples:
- Person: Dries Buytaert
- Event: 2014 Winter Olympics
- Listing of events
- Recipe

Drupal 6: The module leverages the native RDFa layer present in Drupal 7 core. Doing the same in Drupal 6 is quite difficult and would involve a lot of patching or unreliable regular expressions. There is no plan to backport this module to Drupal 6.
