title: What is the format for nesting one microdata itemscope inside of another?
body: <p>I'm new to SEO and heard that using microdata tags in html can dramatically improve SEO. So, for one of my pages, the schema type is an organization... in particular a sports team. One of the properties for a sports team is the members. So, I have the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/SportsTeam"&gt;
     &lt;span itemprop="name"&gt;New York Yankees&lt;/span&gt;
     &lt;span itemprop="members"&gt;Derek Jeter&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The "members" itemprop has to be a person itemscope (http://schema.org/Person). What is the format for nesting one itemscope inside of another?</p>
