Learn about semantic search and, most importantly, how to facilitate it! My talk at SearchFest will dive deep into the implementation angle so that marketers and developers can not only learn about why structured data is important, but how to implement it on their sites using microdata and/or JSON-LD.

- 29. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Semantic markup is like a Rosetta Stone
- 30. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Again, common language <h1>SearchFest</h1> <div>SearchFest</h1> <p>Search<span class="blue">FEST</></p> <h2>SearchFest</h2> <a href="/">SearchFest</a>
- 31. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Again, common language <h1 itemprop="name">SearchFest</h1> <div itemprop="name">SearchFest</h1> <p itemprop="name">Search<span class="blue">FEST</></p> <h2 itemprop="name">SearchFest</h2> <a itemprop="name" href="/">SearchFest</a>
- 33. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Data Models vs. Vocabularies Microdata RFDa Your Data schema.org JSON-LD Dublin Core GoodRelations
- 35. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io In Your Toolbox - Itemscope - Itemtype - Itemprop
- 36. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io In Your Toolbox - Itemscope - Itemtype - Itemprop - Itemref - Itemid
- 37. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemscope? “I’ve got something to say!”
- 38. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemtype? Now that you have everyone’s attention… “Okay, I want to talk about _______.”
- 39. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemprop? All the details about what you just said you’d be talking about. “And another thing!” You can (and will) use many itemprops.
- 40. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemprop? These are specific data points about the thing (itemtype) you’re talking about.
- 41. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemprop? Many itemprops appear across all itemtypes. NAME DESCRIPTION URL IMAGE
- 42. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What is Itemprop? Others are unique to one or a few itemtypes. DIRECTOROFFERS DURATION MANUFACTURERSKU CONTAINSPLACE BREADCRUMB ARRIVALBUSSTOP BIRTHDATE
- 43. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What are Embedded Entities? Itemscopes within itemprops!
- 46. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What are Embedded Entities? An Event entity is declared with an itemtype. A PostalAddress entity is, too.
- 47. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io What are Embedded Entities? An Event entity has a location itemprop which should be an PostalAddress. The value of the parent entity’s itemprop is another entity embedded within in.
- 48. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Event Location Place City State Name SearchFest Name Address The Sentinel Hotel Portland Oregon
- 49. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Implementation That’s all well and good, but how do we do it?
- 50. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Finding Your Schema Use schema.org/docs/schemas.html
- 51. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Finding Your Schema A) Use “Full List of Types” B) Find a good starting point and drill down as much as required
- 55. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Pro Tips ● More is better - except hidden text ● Pay attention to “Text” vs. “Expected Types” ● Test with multiple tools
- 56. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io No Hidden Text Don’t apply semantic markup to text that’s not visible to users. When it’s okay: Dates/times Implicit information References to entities
- 57. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Text vs. Expected Types Some itemprops can just be text. Some itemprops must refer to other itemtypes(entities).
- 58. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Test with Multiple Tools Structured Data Testing Tool https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/ Structured Data Linter http://linter.structured-data.org/
- 59. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Overcoming Common Issues Microdata (aka, inline markup) is restrictive and breaks easily. It’s not uncommon for information to be in different locations on the page.
- 60. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Enter Itemref & Itemid Bringing us all together
- 61. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Itemref & Itemid These tools allow you to bridge the gap between <divs>, structures, and even pages and websites.
- 62. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Itemref Reference data points to use as properties in your main entity. Itemid Link to other identified entities as properties for to your main entity.
- 63. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemref TL;DR - Create an independent “data blob” that you can refer to from your main entity using itemref.
- 64. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemref 1) Wrap a <span> or <div> around your data to form your data blob. Give it an itemscope but not an itemtype.
- 65. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemref 2) Markup the data you want to reference using an itemprop, just like it was part of your main entity. Give it a unique id as well.
- 66. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemref 3) On your main entity, add an itemref attribute to the main itemscope and itemtype declaration. Specify the unique id that you gave your “data blob”
- 68. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemid TL;DR - Give a whole entity a unique identifier that you can link to in order to fill out a property.
- 69. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemid 1) Markup the entity like normal. Start with itemscope and itemtype and then get into the specific itemprops.
- 70. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemid 2) Add itemid with a fragment identifier.
- 71. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Using Itemid 3) Within your main entity, include a <link> tag. Specify both the itemprop that the entity will relate to and the fragment identifier.

- 81. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Breaking Down JSON-LD Context @context": "http://schema.org/" It’s the front half of “itemtype”. Set it and forget it.
- 82. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io Breaking Down JSON-LD Type "@type": "Product" It’s the back half of “itemtype”. Set a new one anytime you need to create another entity - nested or separate.

- 85. @SEMpdx #SearchFest @mike_arnesen upbuild.io ItemID!!! Using “@id” to identify entities "@type": "Organization", "@id": "#organizer", "name": "SEMpdx", This entity can now be referenced from within other entities!
