Schema.org - Book
Purpose¶
The Book schema type helps search engines better understand a book and display book information. It is also good for book review sites where the BookReview schema is not available. See the Schema Org Book type for more information.
The schema provides search engines with information such as:
- Title
- Author
- Date Published
- Abridged/Unabridged
- Edition
- Format (audiobook, e-book, graphic novel, hardback, or paperback)
- Illustrator (all their details)
- ISBN, the International Standard Book Number, uniquely assigned to commercial books -Enter the ISBN-13 number, if only the ISBN-10 is available convert to ISBN-13
- Number of pages
Open an article edit form and select the Schema tab to select a Schema type and set the data for that type. If a Schema Type is not present in the list its Plugin may be disabled. The values to be entered in each field are mostly self-evident.
The Generic Field section allows Title and Value pairs to be entered in addition to the default fields.
