Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone has looked at using HTML5 microdata as a data
source to feed a timeline? I was thinking about this for doing
historical timelines generated from the text in a document, but then I
realised it would have broader application, for example, in my CV
(http://ptsefton.com/cv) I already have embedded microdata for the job
events. Microdata is a standard way to add semantics to HTML, and
Schema.org provides a documented vocabulary.
If nobody else has tackled this I will go ahead and have a go at
making an adaptor to the timeline widget.

When extracted into JSON the Schema.org-in-microdata looks like this:
{
"type": [
"http://schema.org/Event/Job";
],
"properties": {
"startDate": [
"2008"
],
"endDate": [
"2011-03"
],
"jobTitle": [
"Manger, Software Research and\n Development Laboratory"
],
"description": [
"Australian Digital Futures\n Institute, University of
Southern Queensland",
"With the management team,\n established the Australian
Digital Futures Institute (ADFI) at the University\n of Southern
Queensland. I built-up a technical team with high-level software\n
development capabilities and established the major centre in Australia
for\n expertise in Institutional Repository technology. Provided
