Author and Reviewed-By Markup

Entry #567 / 700 · Chapter 12 · 12.2 Entities, fact density and trust signals · Read in Chinese →
In one sentence

Declaring in structured data both who wrote the piece and which qualified professional reviewed it, with verifiable identities for each.

Analogy Mental model

A medicine box printed with the operator's name and stamped with the releasing pharmacist's registration number.

In practice What you actually do

Connect both people to real pages on your site and to their professional profiles elsewhere, and name their roles precisely. The reviewer must be someone whose qualification is relevant to the subject, not a colleague in a different discipline.

Where people get burned Pitfalls

The markup must match what a reader sees. A reviewed-by claim in the code with no corresponding visible line, or with a name that appears nowhere else on the internet, is worse than having no claim at all.
