# G36 Open Graph social preview metadata

## 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
