           A <dfn>vocabulary</dfn> is a set of terms for describing <a title="entity">entities</a> within a particular domain. Different mechanisms are used for describing vocabularies. A microformat vocabulary is described within a wiki page. An RDFa vocabulary might be described through an RDFS schema or OWL ontology provided at the vocabulary's URI. A microdata vocabulary must be described within a specification that describes how it is processed.

-          All three <a title="syntax">syntaxes</a> follow the same general data model. Each is used to describe <dfn title="entity">entities</dfn> &mdash; things such as people or events (RDFa calls these resources, microdata calls these items). These entities each have one or more <dfn title="type">types</dfn> which indicate what kind of thing they are and a number of <dfn title="property">properties</dfn> that have <dfn title="value">values</dfn>, which provide the data about the entity.

The main difference is that in the RDF generated from RDFa, the entities are arranged in a graph, whereas the default data model for microformats and microdata is a tree.
