Is it possible to use the same meta tag for opengraph and schema.org

Question

I dont like the amount of tags in the head of my document. here is an example of some meta tags. ``` Page Title ``` Is it possible to combine the tags/properties to reduce the code size without affecting SEO? for example `Page Title` itemprop attributes can be used anywhere so I'm pretty sure this is fine but as far as i am aware the property="og:*" attribute must be used with a meta tag. So is the following markup acceptable? ``` ``` and how will this affect SEO? many thanks

HTML+RDFa 1.1 and Microdata extend HTML5’s `meta` element. HTML+RDFa 1.1 (W3C Recommendation) defines: If the RDFa `@property` attribute is present on the `meta` element, neither the `@name`, `@http-equiv`, nor `@charset` attributes are required and the `@content` attribute MUST be specified. Microdata (W3C Note) defines: If a `meta` element has an `itemprop` attribute, the `name`, `http-equiv`, and `charset` attributes must be omitted, and the `content` attribute must be present. That means: It’s not allowed to use Microdata’s `itemprop` attribute together with HTML5’s `name` attribute. It’s allowed to use RDFa’s `property` attribute together with HTML5’s `name` attribute: ``` ``` (possibly an issue with having this in the `body` instead of the `head`) It seems to be allowed to use Microdata’s `itemprop` attribute together with RDFa’s `property` attribute if HTML5’s `name` attribute is not provided: ``` ``` (but the W3C Nu Html Checker reports an error)
