RDFa can be used to add semantic metadata to web pages that helps search engines and other applications understand the structure and meaning of content. This additional data allows for more advanced search, comparison shopping, and other automated tasks beyond just keyword searching. The document discusses how adding semantic tags like RDFa to product pages allows for more detailed product discovery and extraction of rich data about items for sale.
