I'm having a hard time finding documentation about these cards and how to implement them.
My questions are as follows:
(1) What is that correct name for these 'Google search cards'?
(2) How can I create a card for my website? Is it using html meta tags? or is this data scraped from wikipedia?
I've found the answer searching around google's webmaster tools. The proper name for the 'card' is called google 'Knowledge Panel'. More info here: Specify your social profiles to Google
