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.
It's great that you're keen to take a lead on further brainstorming.
Please conduct work on new microformats on the [uf-new] mailing list,
rather than discuss. Thanks!
Altered schema: http://jay.beweep.com/hproduct/hproduct-schema.txt
Unstyled HTML example: http://jay.beweep.com/hproduct/hproduct-example.html
The old product brainstorm is discarded, so please edit the wiki.
Either start a fresh brainstorm section on the current page, or work
with the existing text.
The altered schema:
For reference, much of the schema you describe there has been rolled
into hListing, which whilst also technically a proposal, is more
mature and has been implemented successfully by a number of people.
That covers the price/merchant side of things.
The documentation for listing, and interating on it to reach draft
also needs doing, I apologise for not following through my intent to
take a lead on that. Lots of other µf things have come up that always
seem more urgent.
I'd suggest that product-specific fields focus on the product _item_,
e.g. where you have .hListing > .item, or .hReview > .item, you could
insert an ‘hProduct’ there, enhancing the semantics, and achieving
listing products with prices through the formats being used in
combination.
Regards,
Ben
