Why microformats is a good thing

2005-11-08 09:56

I could have put the title “I have seen the Microformat Light” on this post, but I won’t. Neither am I suggesting that microformats replaces RDF (which some people have suggested they are trying to).

What I am suggesting, though, is that, given the the opportunity to mark up your human presentable content (read: HTML) with a well-defined microformat, you should. Mostly because writing microformat parsers is extremely easy.

Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards.
