Post Kinds consists of a few elements
- A URL parser that takes an input URL and tries to extract it into structured data
- Enhancements to the Post Editor to add additional structured data to the post object
- A Taxonomy that takes that structured data and classifies it and dictates behavior
- A rendering piece that takes the structured data stored in post meta and displays it using templates that can be overridden in the theme by including them in a subdirectory called kind_views
This is a great short description from a WordPress developer perspective of what the Post Kinds Plugin does
