Improving Use of Metadata in ILIAS Pages

1 Requirements

If you add a blog posting link to Facebook it shows only the title of the installation and the entered URL, see screenshot.

But Facebook is able to show much more information if it gets it from ILIAS. We need to add the following information to the HEAD section of the blog posting page and Facebook will present them:
 
<title>Here could we place the title of the blog</title>
<meta name="description" content="Here could we place the title of the posting" />
<link rel="image_src" href="Here could we place the path to the banner image (or to a new mini picture for the blog">

JL, 10 Apr 2014: if it is a general feature of Facebook to parse the header data of any link posted why restrict this to blogs?  Furthermore optimizing ILIAS for 1 specific social media website (albeit it being the most important CURRENTLY) seems limited, what about e.g. Google?  It might also be interested to get header data that matches the content if indexing ILIAS installations. But I'm neither a Facebook professional nor experienced enough in SEO to decide if this is a good idea.

JF 12 May 2014: As Jörg suggested this feature wiki should be rewritten in a more general way that targets page header metadata and SEO issues. It should also contain a guideline suggestion how these values are set by default and if and how they can be overwritten by different components.
