'''Microdata''' is a [[WHATWG]] [[HTML]] specification used to nest [[metadata]] within existing content on web pages.<ref name="WHATWG"/> [[Search engines]], [[web crawlers]], and [[Web browser|browsers]] can extract and process Microdata from a web page and use it to provide a richer browsing experience for users. Search engines benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data because it allows them to understand the information on web pages and provide more relevant [[Search engine results page|results]] to users.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lyquix.com/blog-and-news/microdata-the-future-of-search-engine-relevance-and-search-engine-optimization-seo |title=MicroData - The Future of Search Engine Relevance and Optimization (SEO) |publisher=Lyquix.com |access-date=2016-06-30}}</ref><ref>Schema.org http://schema.org/</ref> Microdata uses a supporting vocabulary to describe an item and name-value pairs to assign values to its properties.<ref name="DIVE"/> Microdata is an attempt to provide a simpler way of annotating [[HTML element]]s with machine-readable tags than the similar approaches of using [[RDFa]] and [[microformat]]s.
