Microformats: Digging Deeper into the Web
Jinfo Article
1st December 2010
By Ben Ward
Abstract
Extracting, repurposing and combining information is a core activity for info pros so it's good to know that we are being helped with this on the Web, even if we are not aware of it. Ben Ward describes how microformats - vocabularies which enable recurring information to be described and then reused - are making content available in a richer form and facilitating the combining of data.
