Proposal: Support for Schema.org

[rubas]

Hi David

Excellent library - at the right time 👍 Thanks.

I noticed that for the SEO.Breadcrumb module, you are already leveraging schema.org. Would you considered supporting schema.org as a separate module like `OpenGraph? Maybe not the full spec, but at least the supported spec by Google.

In my opinion, much of the current functionality is more geared towards (social) shareability of the content. Support for schema.org is an essential SEO functionality though (imo).

Ps: We are happy to help out.

How does schema.org relate to Facebook Open Graph?
Facebook Open Graph serves its purpose well, but it doesn't provide the detailed information search engines need to improve the user experience. A single web page may have many components, and it may talk about more than one thing. If search engines understand the various components of a page, we can improve our presentation of the data. Even if you mark up your content using the Facebook Open Graph protocol, schema.org provides a mechanism for providing more detail about particular entities on the page.

In the React world I'm using react-schemaorg with schema-dts for typechecking.

Yes for sure! I'm planning on supporting schema.org for SEO items. I'm hoping to consume a spec that I can use to generate modules and builders.

Thanks for the references. I'll check them out. Contributions are also welcome.

Yes, had the same idea about generating from spec.

Have you looked at RDF.ex?

There is a function {:ok, graph} = RDF.NTriples.read_file("/path/to/some_file.nt") that could be used to generate a graph (?) from https://schema.org/version/latest/schemaorg-all-https.nt.

I have not looked at it in more detail, but seems to be a good start.
