Abstract

Microformats allow you to extend the limited semantics of HTML, thus allowing for a richer web of data. By embedding microformats into HTML it is possible to use the semantic meaning to extract unambiguous data from the web that can then be used in other applications. Microformats focus on how people are already publishing their data online. This session focuses on the more technical aspects of microformats, how they interact with other Semantic Web technologies such as GRDDL and SPARQL, along with a look at browser plugins to detect microformats and browser integration.

I have been writing in short-form since November 22nd, 02006.

I have been experimenting in the audio-form on with a Podcast. You can subscribe in iTunes to North Atlantic Radio and listen to a short bit of tech chat plus idle banter.
