Since I opened these can of worms I think I should contribute again at this point. I had in mind the idea of microformats interacting with each other. So, for exmaple, if a hJob would meet a hResume in the ether, then there would be an action associated to each one, like email the owner of the Resume that this particular job is a good match. That is what I meant by an action. I think the idea of microformats interaction with each other is an interesting one.

Interesting discussion here. I was thinking about todo lists and calendar events myself as I'm trying to figure out how to markup project management data using microformats on the web that could be automatically scraped to generate Gantt chart-like output, as well as potentially being pulled into a program on a PDA.

In my case, I have a series of calendar events that lead up to the completion of one TODO item, but I could see where you might have a list of TODO items that need to be completed at one calendar event also. > > > Cheers, > > Justin Thorp > _______________________________________________ > microformats-discuss mailing list > [email protected] > http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss > Cayle Missouri _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
