Abstract
How do people make use of the data you publish on the Web? If you publish a staff directory, how do people currently add contact details to their address books? Copy and paste has had its day, Microformats are a way of making the data you already publish not only useful, but re-usable and re-purposable for relatively little effort. This session considers how these data formats can help you solve specific data problems on your site.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of the session participants will:
- Understand what microformats are
- Understand the scenarios in which they can be used
- Considered ways in which microformats can be used for their own data
- Understand how using microformats on their own Web sites can improve data
