Is anybody seeing how much extra work this is going to put on the front end developer. We already have to support multiple browsers, multiple display sizes, ARIA roles, and more. I don't mind the extra work for the handicap (ARIA), but looking up and adding all this new meta information merely for search engines is going be a pain. In the end, this extra work makes it easier for the search engine by requiring the developer to do more work. I would prefer the reverse, otherwise maybe I need to get into the search business. They are creating a standard that will make it incredibly easy for future search engines.
- dhimes 15y agoI think that in particular the web page schema should be, at least optionally, read from the natural html. In other words, you should be able to give <div id="WPFooter"> and the search engine should know that this is the footer. In fact, the same could be asked of the rest of the itemtypes so that we can link them with CSS and don't have to repeat ourselves.
