I was looking at hCard today (and around the web) looking for ideas around a user profile microformat. I went looking for existing schema, and honestly didn't find a whole lot. There's PIDF[1], but it's for presence. There's hCard, but it doesn't hold all the things you see in social networking sites' profiles (interests, favorites, marital status, looking for, personal descriptions, etc). Some of those things (interests and favorites especially) could be accomplished with attentionxml, but there doesn't seem to be anything about profiles (or a page on the wiki for that matter).

Is there any interest from the list?

I'd be interested. I have a lot of user profiles all over the place and it'd be nice to be able to extract those.

If you're interested in developing a microformat for this purpose, remember that before investigating existing formats, we need to investigate real examples from the web of user profiles being published. There'd be a plethora of examples, I'm sure.

Also, our site showing off our module (widget) microformat should be launching next week. I'll send the url to the list when it does.

Is this out yet?
