Re: [uf-discuss] Microformats and RDFa not as far apart as previously thought

Perhaps we could solve this by changing the value of the abbr title
attribute to a different, widely used date format that is both machine
and date friendly? Take the JS date format, for instance?

[uf-discuss] IE8 + hAtom = hSlice

2008-03-05 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
Hi all,

It looks like Microsoft is adopting microformats, if not in a rather
awkward way:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/ie8/readiness/DevelopersNew.htm#webslices

On one hand, I am thrilled to see hAtom implemented in such an elegant
manner, on the other hand, I am puzzled about the 'hslice' nonsense.
But hey, I'll take this over some proprietary XML markup any day.

Re: [uf-discuss] Microformats and Firefox 3

2007-09-05 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
Thanks for the comments on the margin-marks concept. I sincerely
appreciate that.

I really like the idea of allowing additional control over
presentation via pseudo-classes, but I am worried that :target isn't
quite right, at least if we follow the spec to the letter
(http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#target-pseudo), specifically
since this pseudo-class is not dynamic and there may or may not be a
fragment identifier on the microformat.

Can :focus be used somehow instead? This would require an element to
accept keyboard or mouse focus, though...

 I think some folks here are missing the point in the
 Microformats/Firefox 3 discussion.

 We are trying to foster a discussion about what to do with
 microformats in Firefox 3, we are not trying to tell you what we are
 going to do.

 This is a very difficult problem to solve and we need input on it. At
 this point, the microformats community has primarily been focused on
 marking up microformats. We want people to start thinking about how to
 communicate microformats to the user.

 So here are a few discussion points to get people focused:

 1. Microformats UI in the browser needs to be a transient UI. That
 is, dedicating permanent space in the browser to a technology that is
 not available on most sites probably doesn't make much sense (at least
 at first). What does transient UI in a browser look like?

 2. Microformats are in page, and there needs to be some way to
 indicate the microformats are available on the page that doesn't
 offend page authors. How can we accomplish this?


This is not particularly transient, but it addresses #2, methinks:

 I don't think we should make light of this point. I've heard several

 can attract and retain active members.

 More than once I've observed unresolved discussions cut off with a
 post saying wiki updated, issue closed. So, why would someone take
 time out of their day to contribute to a discussion if they expect to
 be ignored?

 To put it another way, if the core group is going to do as it pleases
 regardless of community discussion, why are the rest of us here?

 The core group is not a defined/invited/elected group so it's not like
 a W3C discussion list, where people understand they are giving
 feedback but will not be involved in the final decision. The
 expectation was that everyone could contribute, but that's not how it
 actually feels.

 I am not trying to be troublesome, I am expressing a genuine concern
 about this community. I don't think it serves anyone's purpose to
 ignore what many people feel is true.

 The informal approach worked well when the community was new and
 smaller, but now that it's ramping up it doesn't seem to be coping.
 I'm not claiming there's an easy answer, but we should start by
 accepting there's a problem.

[uf-discuss] XOXO Special Properties

2007-08-02 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
I don't know if there's much interest in XOXO anymore, with sexier new
h* monikers and all, but I  seem to have great appreciation for this
simple format.

I am currently trying to understand how to best parse and understand
the meaning of XOXO-ed content, and need some guidance/ideas on
properties, specifically these:

http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo#Special_Properties

Here are some thoughts on parsing of properties that I put down:

http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo-brainstorming#Parsing_Properties

My intent is to use XOXO for configuration (remember plists discussion
from a while back?) and I would like to make sure I don't write code
that does something unacceptable or illogical.

Since there is not much heard anymore about the glorious XOXO
adventures, I am wondering if the world has moved on to something
bigger and better?

[uf-discuss] Semanticizin': Significance of order in argument lists

2006-10-27 Thread Dimitri Glazkov

This is something I just now realized, and while all excited, I
thought I'd send to the list:

When using HTML lists (ul/ol) for representing operand argument lists,
it appears very logical to identify the distinction between ordered
and unordered as that of and and or, respectively.

In other words,

ol
lithis/li
lithat/li
/ol

Can mean this and that. While,

ul
lithis/li
lithat/li
/ul

infers this or that. I am sure somebody has thought of this before,
but I haven't. Don't you think it's beautiful?

Re: [uf-discuss] UID in iCalendar

I've looked at this again and here's a couple of things I don't like
in this algorithm:

* Throwing away the data in the last step. I am very unhappy about

* No reliance on URL property of vevent. IMHO, vevent is used with a
URL -- the link to the actual event page. Maybe that could be another
implicit UID?

2006-07-03 Thread Dimitri Glazkov

Interesting. It seems that VERSION: 2.0 in an iCal export result
makes MS Outlook 2003 fail to import an event, and throw up a somewhat
insane error message about Lunar vs. Gregorian calendar:

This error can appear if you have attempted to save a recurring Lunar
appointment in iCalendar format.
To avoid this error, set the appointment option to Gregorian instead of Lunar.

Doh!

Changing the line field to VERSION: 1.0 fixes the problem. Just a
heads up. I am not sure if the VERSION field itself is the root of the
problem. I'll be digging some more and posting this to

According to the RFC 4.8.4.7 Unique Identifier, the only to requirements

Any URL fits the TEXT requirement. As for globally unique, all URL only

only caveat is that if you have two events, those each need to use a
unique URL, not just http://events.example.org, but instead
http://events.example.org/event/1234


Right.

So, this falls right into place with the discussion of having id

 this in section 4.8.4.7 Unique Identifier:

   Conformance: The property MUST be specified in the VEVENT, VTODO,
   VJOURNAL or VFREEBUSY calendar components.

 I think the important thing is to make hCalendar as importable but to
 keep it as human friendly as possible. The spec should not require a
 UID but if it's required it should be recommended to the converter how
 to create one.

 Regards,
 Marko Mrdjenovic

 I like these steps and i'm pretty indifferent on HOW the implied-UID
 value is formed, i just wanted to point out that fragment identifiers
 are not globally unique, we'd need to add more to it, where/what gets
 added isn't important. Either behind an '@' like the recommendation, or
 the plain URL, it doesn't really matter to me.

 Marko Mrdjenovic suggested that we should always create a UID, the RFC
 says that UID is optional so i'm not sure we should force one to exists.

; the following are optional,
; but MUST NOT occur more than once

class / created / description / dtstart / geo /
last-mod / location / organizer / priority /
dtstamp / seq / status / summary / transp /
uid / url / recurid /

 Sorry about that! :) But.. isn't that beside the point?

 The implied UID algorithm could be as follows:

 * if UID is specified, use it
 * otherwise, if id attribute is specified, construct full URL with
 fragment identifier and use it as UID
 * otherwise, if only one vevent present in document, use document URL
 and use it as UID
 * otherwise, don't specify UID.

 You can't have id attributes that start with a number [1], so you
 would have to create invalid XHTML to imply the URI.

This is part of the ABBR design pattern[1], you can use that for
anything. For example.

abbr class=fn n title=Jeffrey LebowskiThe Dude/abbr

Because this is part of an ABBR element, any transforming application
should use the TITLE attribute, instead of the node value. You can apply
this to any microformat property

abbr title=United Kingdom class=country-nameUK/abbr
 If we knew what version of Outlook was being used, then it would be
 easier to diagnose the issues.
 If you post the text for the vcard, I would be happy to test it in
 Outlook 2003.
The original site is here:

You can pass that through the technorati service here to get the vcard:

One proposal would be to introduce a very simple pattern for groups

div class=vcard brighton
 div class=fnJeremy Keith/div
/div

div class=vcard brighton
 div class=fnAndy Budd/div
/div

div class=vcard
 div class=fnDrew McLellan/div

I think it's only logical. However, using IDs is what gives the
capability to address a specific microformat content outside of the
context of the document (URL, in less fancy words). How would one use
classes to do the same?

Subject: [uf-discuss] Very basic question that is not in the FAQ

Hi guys,

Yesterday, I posted a post on my blog explaining the basics of microformats
but I got a question from a reader that is not answered in the wiki FAQ,
although I think it is a very good one. The question is:

Are microformats approved by anyone else that their creators and the ones
who user them? Who is in charge of them?

I mean, I know they're all open formats, but I was still wondering if
there's an organization that is in charge of the microformats.

For example, the W3C is in charge of the development of several standards,
but who is in charge of the development of microformats. Is microformats
community the only one that is in charge of them?

Thank you,

P.S. - Sorry for my bad english.

Like the other thread, I'm thinking less about the context of actually
parsing the document with an hatom capable parser, but more in the
detection context where you may have some other application (browser or

document to another (feed reading) application.

Communicating with people or Interacting with services but then I
thought that maybe the existing microformats types might be useful...
like Create an event (hcal) or Send a message to a person (hcard).
But I dunno. I mean, this is kind of like building a command-line

chmod and so on.

Anyway, wanted to put it out there before I leave for France and see

I'm not sure that's really the question being asked by Eugene.  It
sounds like the addressing of HyperScope goes beyond specific fragments:

It can do path expressions, similar in spirit to XPath, which allows
you to reference some subset of nodes in a document.

This sounds to me like, e.g., a URI that references all the TEL
elements in a document, and only those elements, so the client can
read the URI, load the document, and strip it down to the specified
nodes.  So the question being asked is whether this would be better
as http://domain.org/?hyperscope=class:tel or http://domain.org/
#hyperscope:class-tel or something else.

[uf-discuss] Relationship between XFN and hCard

2006-05-15 Thread Dimitri Glazkov

I've been slowly chipping away at the implementation of XFN builder in
TinyMCE, which is the rich text editor for Wordpress and other
blogging/CMS tools.

Somewhere along the way an odd thought occured -- it seems that XFN
and hCard are closely related. XFN describes relationship of a person,
represented by the target page, and hCard declares that this link is
part of contact information.

I tried to search archives/wiki on the subject and found a couple of
things (http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples#hCard_and_XFN, for
instance), but nothing definitive.

As a brainstorming idea, I implemented the XFN builder UI to also be
an implicit hCard builder.  The hCard is created by wrapping a span
around the link. Take a look at this screenshot:

http://flickr.com/photos/dglazkov/146838621/

The default selection is N/A, which means no XFN/hCard.

If the user selects Another Web site of mine, an hCard will be built
with an XFN = me

If the user selects Organization, an hCard will be built with no XFN
and fn org url class for the link.

If the user selects Person, the XFN builder is revealed:

http://flickr.com/photos/dglazkov/146834248/

The result of this choice will be an XFN and hCard.

Obviously, in all cases where hCard is created, it's rather barebones,
but somehow I like the fact that the author can explicitly mark a link
as contact information.

What do you guys think? Is this crazy? I remember Drew arguing about
the dangers of implicitly blessing links as hCards
(http://allinthehead.com/retro/287/the-dangers-of-automatically-generating-hcards),
but I can't remember where the discussion ended up.

Thoughts, discussion, critique on the UI are also welcome.

 People do read Microformat content directly which I understand.  It fits

 At Mix06, Tantek pointed out that listing all the xmdp profiles that a site

 I suppose if I wanted to help both people and an aggregator find various
 Microformats of interest, there could be a microformat for a site index.  My
 homepage could include it or simply link to it using some other microformat.

 Thus for the human, there would be a simple link to follow a
 href=/siteindex/ rel=siteindexSite Map/a.  Likewise, my aggregator
 would look for this if it didn't find the xmdp profile for a sitemap on the
 current page.

 I think this might be useful so aggregators (and users) don't have to crawl
 an entire site.

 Has there been any work done in this area? Is it a bad idea?

I don't yet have a deadline -- it's more of a common use tool. I am
trying to pitch it to the local Internet Professionals Society as a
test vehicle, but the main purpose is t o alleviate the semantic
snob gap. I see way too many people not getting it.

 Chris and I are actually working on a Microformats for the rest of us kind

 What's your deadline?

Ryan,

This is indeed a good basics of microformats presentation, but the
audience I am going for will be lost on the 2nd slide. What I am going
to try is a more socio-economical impact slant, outcomes, the big
picture. Actually, the part of Gates/O'Reilly dialogue Mark quoted
today is a very good example.

  Guys,
 
  I am going to try and put together a Microformats for Dummies
  presentation -- a 50-minute pitch of microformats to the
  about-technical crowd, with no prerequisites and possibly some
  (pre|mis)conceptions. The audience in broad strokes:
 
  * actively uses Web today
  * is vaguely familiar with HTML (FrontPage, Dreamweaver)
  * stares blankly when semantic markup is mentioned
  * understands general client-server interaction concept (surprisingly,
  some even built C/S apps)
 
  General goals:
 
  * gain general understanding of what microformats are about
  * introduce fuzzy yet warm appreciation of the bigger picture
  (semantic web, future, etc.)
  * shed light on microformats process and its implications (Community
  Mark, etc.) on the modern business process (ok, this may be a touch
  out of scope)
  * give away bunches upon bunches of MF t-shirts
 
  Any good pointers are appreciated.

Re: [uf-discuss] What to do when a microformat doesn't quite fit?

2006-03-21 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
While we're rolling here, can I timidly take offense with the
address requirement for author optimization?

On that blog post from http://fuzzycontent.com (see nearby thread), I
concocted an example which quickly turned out to be invalid, because
of this issue.

See, I wanted to create an embedded feed, which lists current blog
project participants. This is an hAtom feed, embedded in a post, which
is part of a blog owned by multiple folk (kind of like
microformats.org blog). Address author optimization isn't the right
thing, because the hCard only indicates who authors the embedded feed,
not the blog or page.

Am I out of luck on this example?

 I have seen the issue of author appear more than once in regards to
 hAtom, so maybe it is time to refactor.

 hResume has brainstormed away to call back to an object via reference,
 X2V supports this for vCards and vEvents, so the hAtom XSLT can steal
 that code if they want.

 Basically, the idea is that you declare your author at the top of the
 page or at the first post etc... and you add an ID=foo-bar-author

 Then inside later posts you simply add:
 object data=#foo-bar-author/

 and this basically is telling the system to include the data inside
 #foo-bar-author inside the post.
 http://microformats.org/wiki/resume-brainstorming#hCard_reference_via_object

 This may or may not be something hAtom wants to look into.

[uf-discuss] hAtom look-see

2006-03-14 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
Fellas,

I wrote a post with an itsy-bitsy dose of hAtom in it:

http://fuzzycontent.com/index.php/2006/03/14/context-wants-to-be-free-too/

I can't get any of the listed tools to validate it, though. Can you
lend me a hand with your expertize and tell me if I am doing something
wrong?

Re: [uf-discuss] Experimental implementation of hAtom on diveintomark.org

2006-03-14 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
I think vCard has nearest-in-parent optimization. So, IMHO, no, it doesn't:

http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Entry_Author

Also, I think Nearest in Parent algorithm probably should be called
First Ancestor With?

 Based on Wordpress 2.0.2.  No changes were required in the Wordpress
 code; it already marks up categories with rel=tag, and everything
 else could be done in my theme files.

 One question: does the vCard need to be inside the hentry?  Because
 mine isn't, and it would be inconvenient (though not impossible) to
 move it.  I see something on the wiki about a nearest in parent
 algorithm, but I missed the discussion about it and I'm not
 comprehending the sample code at the moment.

Re: [uf-discuss] hAtom draft

2005-12-06 Thread Dimitri Glazkov
David,

Just in case people didn't say this enough: this hAtom thing is
tremendous. I am working on implementing it at a client's site and I
am enjoying the quality of the spec and the level of thought that went
into it.

Now, try to fit that head into a doorway :)
