XFN Activity - David Singleton

2008-07-03T04:43:42-07:00

This is seriously brilliant. Starting from a single URL (adactio.com), a lifestream is creating based on XFN rel="me" links. David Singleton wins the internet.

BBC, Microformats and RDFa - O'Reilly XML Blog

2008-06-26T14:59:40-07:00

I’m not sure I have enough faith in the Microformats community to come to an agreement on this topic. In my short time following the various Microformats mailing lists, I quickly became disillusioned with the community and administrators. I witnessed several instances of heavy handed administration, including the banning of users. Frequently, no real reason was given and I was left w/ the impression that it wasn’t much of a community after all.

BBC - Radio Labs - Microformats and RDFa and RDF

2008-06-26T14:58:14-07:00

My original post on removing microformats from /programmes seems to have kicked off quite a debate. Unfortunately some of this seems to have resulted in RDFa people criticising microformats and vice versa. Which wasn't really the intention.

hAccessibility redux? - The Web Standards Project

2008-06-26T14:57:25-07:00

As with the debate over a year ago, the concerns raised are not about microformats as a whole being inaccessible. They’re not even strictly about the hCalendar microformat itself. The concerns are purely centred around the (mis)use of the ABBR design pattern.

BBC - Radio Labs - Removing Microformats from bbc.co.uk/programmes

2008-06-23T14:10:53-07:00

There have been a number of concerns over hCalendar's use of the abbreviation design pattern. Until these issues are resolved the BBC semantic markup standards have been updated to prevent the use of non-human-readable text in abbreviations.

XEN 1.0 profile

2008-06-10T07:02:57-07:00

XEN is an extension of XFN. Negative relationship terms have been omitted from XFN by design. The authors of XFN think that such values would not serve a positive ends and thus made the deliberate decision to leave them out. Please see the XFN home page for more information about XFN.

Javascript badges powered by JSONP and microformats - Opera Developer Community

2008-05-18T16:58:10-07:00

"The above script extracts XFN data but it would be possible to extend it to display other microformats as well. The idea is simply that you can manage your content in one place and then display it in several other places around the web using a JavaScript badge. In many cases this type of work is best done on the server, but for occasions when you only control the client or where you don't have access to server-side processing, JavaScript and JSONP can be invaluable. "JSONP is a simple but powerful pattern for all kinds of client-side applications that utilise external APIs. You can get started using ufXtract or other supporting web services (for instance from Yahoo!) now. And if you’re building a service in the future think about adding the ability to specify a JavaScript callback as part of your API."

"Jeremy finds "2008-04-25" readable" - and does he find it useful, in "the events ends on [abbr class="dtend" title"2008-04-25"]24 April[/abbr], as currently used in the hCalendar microformat's 'exclusive end date'?

If a member chooses to share their email address and phone number only with their contacts, the information will only be included on the hCard/vCard when clicked on by their contacts. Everyone else (and other services online) will only receive the public information the member has shared."
