現在 Google では、ウェブサイト内のコンテンツから著作者情報ページへリンクするマークアップに対応しています。たとえば、多くの記事を書いている The New York Times の記者がいたとします。ウェブマスターは著作者情報をマークアップすることによって、これらの記事を The New York Times の記者ページに関連付けることができます。著作者情報ページは、著作者がどういった人物か説明するものであり、著作者の略歴、写真、書いた記事、その他のリンクなどを含めることができます。
Google では、このマークアップを可能な限り簡単に取り入れられるようにしたいと考えています。そのために、The New York Times、The Washington Post、CNET、Entertainment Weekly、The New Yorker などの複数のサイトと協力してページのマークアップに取り組みました。さらに、YouTube や Blogger がホスティングするすべてのコンテンツにもマークアップを追加しました。将来的には、どちらのプラットフォームでもコンテンツの公開時に自動でマークアップが追加されるようになります。

Some of the information may be outdated (for example, some images may be missing, and some links may not work anymore).\n\nTuesday, June 07, 2011\n\n\nToday we're beginning to support authorship markup---a way to connect authors with their content on\nthe web. We're experimenting with using this data to help people find content from great authors\nin our search results.\n\n\nWe now support markup that enables websites to publicly link within their site from content to\nauthor pages. For example, if an author at The New York Times has written dozens of articles,\nusing this markup, the webmaster can connect these articles with a New York Times author page.\nAn author page describes and identifies the author, and can include things like the author's bio,\nphoto, articles and other links.\n\n\nIf you run a website with authored content, you'll want to learn about authorship markup in our\n[Help Center](https://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1229920).\nThe markup uses existing standards such as HTML5 (`rel=\"author\"`) and XFN\n(`rel=\"me\"`) to enable search engines and other web services to identify works by the\nsame author across the web. If you're already doing structured data markup using\n[microdata from schema.org](/search/blog/2011/06/introducing-schemaorg-search-engines),\nwe'll interpret that authorship information as well.\n\n\nWe wanted to make sure the markup was as easy to implement as possible. To that end, we've already\nworked with several sites to markup their pages, including The New York Times, The\nWashington Post, CNET, Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker and others. In addition, we've taken\nthe extra step to add this markup to everything hosted by YouTube and Blogger. In the future,\nboth platforms will automatically include this markup when you publish content.\n\n\nWe know that great content comes from great authors, and we're looking closely at ways this markup\ncould help us highlight authors and rank search results.\n\n\nPosted by\n[Othar Hansson](https://plus.google.com/107899204703103704505/about),\nSoftware Engineer"]]
