Comment Posted By Anthony Hawkins On October 17, 2008 @ 4:26 pm New Zealand Government Feed Standard (Consultation) Hi there - completely agree about the value of feeds in supporting open govt information. One small caveat is a accessibility of some (or at least one) at the moment. This’d be a temporary problem, and doesn’t apply to most of the formats, but here’s blog on the BBC dropping hCalendar: “The developers over of the BBC site Programmes have supported semantically marked up data ( in the form of Microformats ) from day one. Now comes word that because of certain decisions made during the design of hCalendar and its use of the abbr, they are removing hCalendar support from the Programmes web site. Other Microformats being used will remain ( rel & hCard ). However, developer Michael Smethurst has hinted that the Programmes team might migrate over to RDFa and remove all Microformats. This is the first instance that I have heard of where a team will be moving away from Microformats and possibly embracing RDFa.” http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2008/06/bbc_microformats_and_rdfa.html The BBC itself says: “You MAY use microformats on your site where there are agreed, not draft, specifications (refer to the Microformats community wiki site for details) with the exception of those that use the title attribute of HTML’s abbr element.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/technical/semantic_markup.shtml On that, I’d be interested in seeing what you think of the way the Beep ’standardise’ microformat use (as per above link). And any thoughts on RDFa? cheers Comment Posted By Anthony Hawkins On August 20, 2008 @ 9:59 am
