Is it possible to use the same meta tag for opengraph and schema.org

Viewed 9588

I dont like the amount of tags in the head of my document. here is an example of some meta tags.

<!--w3c-->    
<title>Page Title</title>
<meta name="description" content="great description">

<!--schema.org-->
<meta itemprop="name" content="Page Title">
<meta itemprop="description" content="great description">

<!-- opengraph-->
<meta property="og:title" content="Page Title">
<meta property="og:description" content="great description">

Is it possible to combine the tags/properties to reduce the code size without affecting SEO? for example
<title itemprop="name">Page Title</title>
itemprop attributes can be used anywhere so I'm pretty sure this is fine but as far as i am aware the property="og:*" attribute must be used with a meta tag.
So is the following markup acceptable?

<meta name="description" itemprop="description" property="og:description" content="great description">


and how will this affect SEO?

many thanks
