Schema.org for acronym / abbreviation (in a glossary)

Question

I\'d like to mark my list of acronyms/abbreviations in my glossary of my website with Schema.org (using Microdata).

Which type of Schema.org is the right one for that? <

Answer 1

The type DefinedTerm (which is currently in Pending, so it’s subject to change) is suitable for a

word, name, acronym, phrase, etc. with a formal definition

In a glossary, you would use the name property for the term, and the description property for what the term stands for.

  SO: 
  Stack Overflow

Or with semantic markup:

  

    
SO
    
Stack Overflow
  

 

(For the whole glossary, you could use the type DefinedTermSet, and add each entry with the property inDefinedTermSet.)
