The basic Microdata should be something like:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<a itemprop="url" href="url"><div itemprop="name"><strong>name</strong></div>
</a>
<div itemprop="description">My Description</div>
<div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<span itemprop="streetAddress">My Address</span><br>
<span itemprop="addressLocality">My City</span><br>
<span itemprop="postalCode">My Zip</span><br>
<span itemprop="addressCountry">My Country</span><br>
</div>
</div>
But can I "split" the itemscope
along the page?
Giving an extreme example - Say I have the name
at the header of a page, the address
in the middle of the page, and the country
at the footer.
Would it still be a valid / effective to split the data in such a way? or do I always need to use a cluster.
And if a split is valid, how exactly to perform it?
Do I just need to repeat the div
s like :
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<div itemprop="name"><strong>name</strong></div>
</a>
<div itemprop="description">My Description</div>
</div>
And …
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<span itemprop="streetAddress">My Address</span><br>
</div>
And …
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<span itemprop="country">My Country</span><br>
</div>
This is my first time considering the use of Microdata - and I just want to make sure that I do it correctly - and I could not see any references to such a "split".
And on the same topic, can I use already existing elements, while adding only the itemscope
?
For example:
<div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/LocalBusiness">
<h1><div id = "title" class="title" itemprop="name"><strong>name</strong></div></h1>
</a>
