All,

It seems like the hProduct microformat hasn't seen a lot of revisions since it's initial brainstorming in 2006 (feel free to correct me on this if there are current efforts taking place :-) ). I'm attempting to revise the schema for use in an upcoming August / September project release. I have taken the current brainstorming schema and added on some new items. I would like to open this up to discussion and move this format forward, and any assistance the community would be able to provide would be helpful.

Altered schema: http://jay.beweep.com/hproduct/hproduct-schema.txt Unstyled HTML example: http://jay.beweep.com/hproduct/hproduct-example.html

The altered schema:

hProduct
    * version. optional. text.

    * name. required.

* image. optional. IMG element or rel='image'. could be further refined as image type ( thumb || full, photo || illo).

* description. optional. could be denoted as 'summary' or 'extended'.

    * brand. text | hCard

* uri. optional. URI to product page, href could contain rel='product'.

* price. optional. could be further refined as specific type (sale || regular || msrp || clearance || savings). should follow currency format.

* p-v. optional. opens up possibilities for custom property-value pairs in more complex examples.

o property. required. property types could include:

            - artist

            - author

            - released - hCal event for date of release

            - upc

            - isbn

            - sku

            - sn

            - vin

            - batch

            - size

            - color

- uid - unique id, item number as provided by manufacturer or retailer

            - offer

- others. possibly around product specs, features.

        o value. required. (label may be implied)
    * availability. optional.

    * shipping. optional. shipping messaging.

    * reviews. text | hReview

    * buy. optional. purchase URL.

Thanks,

Jay Myers
