SEO: Structured Data & Schema.org
Structured data is a way for publishers to highlight content on their web pages to help search engines know exactly what certain words relate to, such as product review scores or addresses. Schema.org is a shared markup vocabulary recognized by search engines to help with structured data efforts. Google provides a help section about structured data here.
