There has been a lot of interest in the SEO and SEM communities of late about knowledge graphs, schema.org and graph search. Much of this is due to the enormous adoption of these standards by the major search and social engines.

This talk will:
- Cover the basic foundations of the semantic web, what exactly is microdata and schema.org? What precisely are knowledge graphs and graph search, and how are these now related to SEO, SEM or website creation/optimization in general.
- Provide information about tools (courtesy of the semantic web community) for understanding and leveraging this technology
- Explain how you can leverage this for your website/business
