SEO Impact
Metadata about a name. There are two metadata protos, whose content is meant to be similar but their usage different: NameEntityMetadata for readability and ConceptNameMetadata for size / decoding speed. NameEntityMetadata is propagated to GlobalNameInfo and EntityJoin tables, while ConceptNameMetadata is propagated from EntityJoins to the name matching tables and later to the Webref's/QRef's output. To add a new metadata field in the Names pipeline, and propagate it to EntityJoins and Names matching tables, it is necessary to: (1) Add the field to NameEntityMetadata, and a corresponding data representation in ConceptNameMetadata. (2) Populate the field in NameVariantSignals.name_metadata, from any source. This can be done in a corresponding NameProcessor. (3) Update the library name-metadata.h/cc to make sure that the metadata field is: a) merged correctly when merging two NameSignals; and b) transformed to the corresponding field in ConceptNameMetadata proto.
