Implementing Easier and More Efficient Metadata Tags on Wikisource
Disclosure: I am contracted by Creative Commons LRMI Project.
I would like to propose adopting the use of a by-default-disabled
Mediawiki metadata feature that would greatly improve the organization and
search engine visibility of the content of Wikisource. These metadata tags
are part of
Schema.org which was developed by Google, Bing, Yahoo, and
Yandex, and can be viewed here. The benefit of these tags is that when used
within educational content such as on Wikisource, the information contained
on the page is made into a way that is easily intelligible to machines by
changing just one line with the Mediawiki configuration. An example of
MediaWiki using Schema can be seen by using Google's testing tool. These
metatags were originally developed by LRMI but their recent adoption of
Schema.org is a huge milestone that has great potential to improve the
efficiency of the way we are able to search educational resources and
content on places like Wikisource. Maximilian.Klein.LRMI (talk) 21:29, 22

I have let a light response with the post, however, there are many with
more knowledge of this than I, and as mentioned a interlanguage WS
community response seems better.
