Question

Which title, image, type, and URL should a sharing consumer preview?

Nodes

WebPage; Preview image; Title; Object type; URL

Relationship sketch

  • page → preview metadata
  • preview → image asset

Evidence inputs

Actual rendered head metadata and observed sharing previews under stated conditions.

Implementation

Maintain Open Graph metadata alongside ordinary metadata and check consumer-specific output. Treat this as a preview representation, not as your semantic entity registry or evidence store.

Acceptance checks

  • Preview URL and image match the intended page
  • Metadata is not copied with wrong titles across routes
  • Observed previews are recorded separately from configured intent

Do not infer

Open Graph, Google Knowledge Graph, and GraphRAG are three different things.

Publication boundary

Public page metadata.

Source basis

S35. See Research/sources.json. Sources support the primitives or named technology. The organization, labels, actions, and acceptance contracts in this catalog are this library's design, not claimed provider requirements.
