Schema markup, semantic HTML and meta tags have overlapping structured data. HTML microdata can also be used to provide the structure.

... Byline published date and author
Google refers to the published date snippet in the page's link and description as a byline date, although many refer to the byline as the link to the author's information. Often these are the same. However, the author information is what ties into E-E-A-T and the date is the snippet used as a rich search feature.
... Does Schema Change Ranking in Search?
It is important to ensure that the information represented in schema markup also exists visibly on the page. Schema helps disambiguate content, which can influence search rankings. While it is considered a ranking cofactor, its primary role is to enable structured data-based SERP features. Some SERP features require schema markup, while others do not. Implementing schema markup without relevant on-page content is incorrect, though such instances have appeared in search. Ultimately, content relevance is the primary ranking factor, and schema markup helps clarify that relevance.
