What would be the way to markup a hCard as being the definitive
hCard on a page. For example the page owner or author. My blog has
hCards of friends and commenters, as well as my own. But I'd like
a programmatic way to identify mine, mainly to access information
about me at my openid.
Would it be a category? And is there any convention emerging for
the name of such a category?
What about using XFN and that way defining you as yourself?| For me
that would be:|
<div class="vcard">
<a class="url fn" href="http://pelle.vox.nu/"; rel="me">Pelle
Wessman</a>
</div>
As others have said, using <address> works when the person is the
principal author of the page - see twitter for examples of this (eg
http://twitter.com/kevinmarks has me in the address block and the
other 200+ not)
rel="me" also works in the case where the page is a proxy for the
author, but you cna have multiple rel="me" links
The other hCard property that is useful here is "uid" - if you do a
<div class="vcard">
<a class="url fn uid" href="http://pelle.vox.nu/"; rel="me">Pelle
Wessman</a>
</div>
on the page http://pelle.vox.nu that is asserting that the page is a
unique id and thus definitive for Pelle.
You can of course use "uid" to assert the definitiveness of another
hCard's url, but one pointing to the current page is clearly self-
consistent. If you think of a site like Yelp, look at
http://www.yelp.com/biz/jRF_IanvH-LYY04Ce9NYQA
if they were to add hCards to their pages, putting uid on the links
would help, and making the title of "Sushi on the Run" link to the
current page, as it is then clear that the self-pointing link is the
definitive one for that page, but the sidebar hCards and "you might
also like" ones are breifer ones thet link through to the full hCard
on the page.
