Another possible approach is to use an RDF triple store. You can then use the GRDDL transformation standard to extract RDF data out of microformats (they exist for a fair few microformats), then store that data in a triple store. It may not be appropriate for some microformats (XOXO comes to mind), but for a lot of them it'd be quite feasible. And you could then query it with SPARQL, a SQL-like language for RDF. If you come up with a good way of mapping microformats to a relational database, it would seem like an ideal thing to share on the wiki. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
