Charter boles are indentations found in the boundary walls of Scottish buildings constructed between the 15th and 17th centuries; they were used to denote ownership and responsibility for repair. They are similar to bee boles but smaller in size.

"in Scotland a single charter bole, one foot square or less, was often built into a wall to indicate its ownership". [1]

"charter bole: a rectangular recess used to house charter documents defining ownership of adjoining properties." [2]

It shows that the "wall belongs to the property on this side of it". [3]

Microdata is a WHATWG HTML specification used to nest metadata within existing content on web pages. Search engines, web crawlers, and browsers can extract and process Microdata from a web page and use it to provide a richer browsing experience for users. Search engines benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data because it allows them to understand the information on web pages and provide more relevant results to users. Microdata uses a supporting vocabulary to describe an item and name-value pairs to assign values to its properties. Microdata is an attempt to provide a simpler way of annotating HTML elements with machine-readable tags than the similar approaches of using RDFa and microformats.
