Hi Manu,
THX for your answer, good to know I'm on the right way ;-)

- How can the rating be included? Does it make sense to work with
hreview here?
hAudio was intended to be embedded in hReview. So yes, you could
put an
hAudio in hReview and add rating to it that way.
Keep in mind that I don't know of anybody that has implemented
hAudio +
hReview, so it would be good for the list to see an example and figure
out if it works.
Assured of going the right direction I'm going to elaborate things.
- A top-list can be seen as a review, might it be better to
straighten
the whole thing out to the hreview thing? So it could also be used
for
top-lists not regarding audio-tracks. But it also seems logical to
use
haudio if it's audio-material. So especially for audio-top-lists
would
it be OK to make that clear by the use of <li class="haudio">?
This isn't that clear... we would have to understand what you mean by
"top-list". You would have to differentiate the following from each
other (here's a hint: Some of them could be viewed as very similar to
one another):
- "top-list"
- "playlist"
- hreview of a playlist
- hreview of an audio collection or audio album
Another way of looking at it is: How is a top-list any different
from a
playlist?
The difference is the rating. A playlist is just "what am I hearing?
What have I heard the last days/weeks/months?
A Top-List is about what do I like better and best? Like the Top-5-
pieces of Open Music I like best. This includes the rating and the
<ol>. Like the first place rated 5 out of 5 and the fifth place rated
1 out of 5. So it's a mixture between rating and playlist, the rating
representing also a kind of a review.
- If a top-list is also a review: should it be extended by the
hreview-possibilities? Like for example if I write a review about a
track like maybe on my blog or somewhere else, it would be
semantically
interesting to paste this information together with my top-list.
You will have to elaborate on this as your idea could be
interpreted in
a number of different ways.
Hope to have made that clearer above ... ?
Second is: how can those informations be collected by let's say the
netlabels? I have the idea of a php-script writing the data in
database and thus creating the netlabel-toplist consisting of the
data
from participating Blogs, community-sites and whatever.
You're talking about crawling, indexing and website implementation.
While this community is interested in this stuff... they are
implementation details that don't really have much to do with creating
the Microformat you are talking about.
That's true ... but nonetheless: do you have some good starting-point
to gather information or another hint for me?
Since it's a top-list the use of <ol> is the semantic correct way, so
to establish the format it should be convention to start with
something like <ol class="htoplist">?
Perhaps. What we really need to find out is how prevalent "top-lists"
are on the Internet. I think everybody on here will agree that they do
exist, but it will be your job to gather data to prove that they do
exist. This is one of the first steps in the Microformats process -
demonstrate, using hard data, that your problem exists. You will
need to
answer the following questions:
- What problem is 'top-list' attempting to address?
- How many sites have "top-list" type information?
- What kind of information should be placed in a top-list?
- Is there any way that we can combine haudio + hreview to solve the
problem?
Phheewww ... seems a lot of work, don't know if I'm gonna get that
far. So first I'd like to develop the idea behind it, then let's see
what it brings. The combination of hAudio and hReview seems to fit my
idea, so maybe it ain't necessary to create an own format.
