I just tried on my own blog, without any changes to the current markup: http://xml.mfd-consult.dk/foaf/explorer/?foaf=http%3A%2F%2Fweborganics.co.uk%2FhFoaF%2F%3Fid%3Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fandr3.net%2Fblog
It worked pretty well!! (I'm using xFolk to mark up the blog entries, but I'm considering changing to hAtom.) Just trying to contribute with an "example in the wild". I like the idea... basically you're just suggesting a way of putting hcard+xfn+(hatom/xfolk) together in a simple way. Having a specific format to aim for (and to call it) will surely help convergence in implementations. Looking forward to see what other fine folks have to say. Great work Martin. -- André Luís On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 11:35 AM, Martin McEvoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I am Pleased to announce Hypertext Friend of a Friend or hFoaF. > > hFoaF came to be because I noticed a patten of people trying to > consolidate their identity's, express interests, and friends in their > user profiles and homepages using hcard[1] and a url with the XFN[2] > rel="me", marking up their friends and colleagues with simple anchor > text links and other XFN values, and expressing their interests by using > either xFolk[3] or hAtom[4]. > How common is this pattern, well to be honest not many every user > profile at Ma.Gnolia[5] is marked up in this way, and Tantek's > homepage[6] is also marked up in this way. others are, Lasfm, twitter, > and nsyght Profiles but the markup (for me) is so difficult to tidy and > parse that with the exception of nsyght it is difficult extract anything > useful :( > > examples: > > Using the transformer available at, http://weborganics.co.uk/hFoaf/?id= > > source: http://www.tantek.com/ > output: http://tinyurl.com/3g4dv5 > > source: http://ma.gnolia.com/people/aarongustafson > output: http://tinyurl.com/3eqzya > > Using GRDDL available at, http://www.w3.org/2007/08/grddl/?docAddr= > > profile: http://weborganics.co.uk/Profiles/hFoaF.xsl > source: http://weborganics.co.uk/ > output: http://tinyurl.com/3ucx9z > > If you are interested in the source code or would like to know a little > more please visit http://weborganics.co.uk/hFoaf/ > > As usual comments constructive criticism welcome. > Thanks. > > [1] http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard > [2] http://microformats.org/wiki/xfn > [3] http://microformats.org/wiki/xfolk > [4] http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom > [5] http://ma.gnolia.com/ > [6] http://www.tantek.com/ > > Martin McEvoy > http://weborganics.co.uk/ > > _______________________________________________ > microformats-discuss mailing list > microformats-discuss@microformats.org > http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss > _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
