Re: [uf-discuss] Using the hReview microformat for journal article reviews

2008-05-16 Thread Martin Leidl
Hi Dave -
I (also new in this MF-business) would consider this application of hReview
very useful. I am thinking about how to use hReview in the context of
Peer-Reviewing in e-learning settings, what would be quite familiar...

As far as I can see, you have optional TAGs in hReview
(http://microformats.org/wiki/hreview).
I suppose, what might be usful for your context would be an extension of the
item type, eg publication.

So long,
martin

 Hi,
 
 I'm new to the whole microformats thing, so excuse me if I'm repeating
 a question. fwiw I didn't find the answer in the FAQ.
 
 I run an aggregator of blog posts about journal articles
 (researchblogging.org). Technically these are all reviews, because the
 blogger is offering her/his opinion about the article. But they're not
 typical of the type of reviews the general public might be familiar
 with (e.g. movies, restaurants). Generally a reviewer of a journal
 article doesn't rate it on a star system -- simply by virtue of
 discussing it a blogger is indicating the article is worthwhile.
 
 That said, occasionally our users do take the opportunity to trash an
 article. I'd expect if we actually used a star rating system all our
 reviews would be either 0 or 5. But I see from the specs that star
 ratings are optional.
 
 We're more interested in using  a microformat to give content tags to
 a post -- is it about biochemistry or astrophysics? While it seems to
 me that hReview can do this, perhaps some other microformat would be
 better suited to our needs. We also considered xFolk, but that seems
 even less relevant to our situation.
 
 Any suggestions? Any reason we *shouldn't* be using hReview?
 
 Thanks!
 
 Dave
