Drupal 7 has added the ability for sites using open-source content management systems may now embed semantic meta-data; adding native support for W3C’s RDFa for turning human readable data into machine readable and giving more detail to search engines. Also available is a built-in test environment, version upgrade manager, and a database abstraction layer for use with MariaDB, SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
