Schema.org itemtype Person vs ProfilePage

html, microdata, schema.org

Solution

In your example, `ProfilePage` and `Person` have no relationship.

You could use the `mainEntity` property to link the `Person` with the `ProfilePage`:

<body itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ProfilePage">
  <div itemprop="mainEntity" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Person">
  </div>
</body>

This conveys that the `Person` is the primary entity described on this `ProfilePage`. You could also use `about` in addition (i.e., `itemprop="about mainEntity"`).

Your current `itemprop="about"` is nested under the `Person` item, but the `about` property is not defined for `Person`. If you consider it to be a description of the person, you could use the `description` property instead.

Problem

Please explain me what microdata of Schema.org I should use for the user page? Here is a small example of a page that interests me: ``` <body itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/ProfilePage"> <div itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" itemscope> <h2 class="vcard-names"> <span itemprop="name" class="user-name">John Doe</span> <em itemprop="additionalName" class="user-nick">admin</em> </h2> <div class="vcard-details"> <dl title="Email"> <dd> <a class="email" data-email="john@doe.com" href="mailto:john@doe.com">john@doe.com</a> </dd> </dl> <dl title="Home Page"> <dd> <a href="http://doe.com" itemprop="url">http://doe.com</a> </dd> </dl> <dl title="Birthday"> <dd> <time itemprop="birthDate" content="1983-05-16T00:00:00+0000" datetime="1983-05-16T00:00:00+0000"> Monday, May 16, 1983 </time> </dd> </dl> <dl title="User groups"> <dd class="tagcloud"> <span>Approved</span> <span>Users</span> <span>Admins</span> </dd> </dl> <div class="user-bio"> <h4>Bio</h4> <p itemprop="about"> Inquisitive Developer, Bloger, Avid Reader, Music Lover, Gamer; </p> </div> </div> </div> ``` - Should I use `<body>` tag with itemtype="http://schema.org/ProfilePage"? - Should I use `<div>` tag with itemtype="http://schema.org/Person" if I use `<body>` tag with itemtype="http://schema.org/ProfilePage"? - Please take a look at this markup example. Did I understood the concept correct?
