Rolandinsh: /* New Examples */ New example

<h1>hReview Examples in the wild </h1>
This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hreview|hReview]] specification.

The following sites have published [[hreview|hReviews]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If you publish hReviews on your own site, feel free to add it to the '''top''' of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hreview|hReview]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hReview markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hreview|hReview]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hreview/creator hReview creator] to write a review and publish it on your blog or site.

Rolandinsh: /* In the wild */ Link change for Rolands U. blog

<h1> xFolk (RC1) </h1>

'''xFolk''' (from "xFolksomony") is a simple and open format for publishing collections of bookmarks. It better enables services for improving user experience and sharing data in web-based bookmarking software. xFolk may be embedded in HTML or XHTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. It is one of several open [[microformats|microformat]] standards.

__TOC__

== Draft Specification ==

=== Editor/Author ===
[http://thecommunityengine.com/ Bud Gibson] ([http://thecommunityengine.com The Community Engine])

=== Copyright ===
{{MicroFormatCopyrightStatement2005}}

=== Patents ===
{{MicroFormatPatentStatement}}

=== Inspiration and Acknowledgments ===
Thanks to: [http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu/~plaut/ David Plaut] who introduced me to the idea that items may partially belong to many categories at once. More recently, thanks to: [http://tantek.com/ Tantek Çelik], [http://epeus.blogspot.com/ Kevin Marks], [http://steve.osdir.com/ Steve Mallet], [http://hybernaut.com/ Brian DelVecchio], and [http://blogmarks.net François Hodierne] who have contributed to the development of xFolk with thoughtful critiques and implementations.

== Introduction ==
Social bookmarking services let users save and tag bookmarks to share with other users. Over the past year, the number of these services has mushroomed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking over 20], with popular examples including: [http://del.icio.us del.icio.us], [http://furl.net furl], [http://de.lirio.us de.lirio.us], [http://jots.com jots], and [http://blogmarks.net blogmarks].

Lack of an open, interoperable data standard is a major issue in using social bookmarking services. An open standard would make it possible to easily collect social bookmark data and remix it to invent new services along the lines of [http://gataga.com gataga]'s experimental bookmark search engine. An open standard would also make it possible to write javascripts that work across services [http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/ as some currently do for del.icio.us], enabling across-the-board improvements in user experience.

xFolk is an open social bookmarking standard that aims to achieve both benefits. Social bookmarking services that adopt xFolk will continue to differentiate themselves with data services. But, the data itself will be easy to manipulate by third party scripts and easy to share. As a result, bookmarking services will be able to offer a wider array of options to their users at low cost and focus on what truly differentiates them. Individuals or groups operating standalone bookmark repositories will have access to a wider array of functionality than they can produce on their own.

== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ==
{{semantic-xhtml-design-principles}}

== Format ==
Extensive analysis of social bookmarking services and linkblogs, reported on [http://thecommunityengine.com/home/archives/xfolk elsewhere], reveals that the data published by both bookmarking services and '''many''' different linkblogs are described by the following implied schema:

* A bookmarked or tagged link.
* A title for the entry.
* Tags for the link.
* An extended description or summary of the link.

As demonstrated in early iterations of the xFolk standard, this general schema can be translated into markup by:

# creating a container element for each entry of class <code>xfolkentry</code>,
# using an <a> element for the bookmarked or tagged link of class <code>taggedlink</code>,
# using title attribute for the tagged link <a> element, if it exists, as the entry title, otherwise using the element value,
# using [[rel-tag]] for the tags, and
# using a container element of class <code>description</code>, such as <p>, for any extended description or summary.

A given xFolk entry will always contain a tagged link including a title with all other elements optional. Entries may have more than one tag as well as more than one element of class <code>description</code>. Multiple elements of class <code>description</code> are ordered by default document order. Semantic elements within xFolk entries may be nested at arbitray depths.

Many social bookmarking systems exist, each with its own markup conventions. Further, many people are already publishing personal link blogs. xFolk is designed with ease of adapting to these current practices as a primary goal. Therefore, few assumptions are made as to the exact kinds of elements used for an xFolk entry. Rather, the work of defining semantics is left entirely to the class and rel (in the case of [[rel-tag]]) attribute values.

It is expected that developers will use [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath XPath] or equivalent syntax in accessing xFolk entry elements. a requirement for XPath is that the HTML document be well-formed but not necessarily valid. Thus, while not optimal, it is possible to serviceably use xFolk in an HTML document that does not validate.

=== XMDP Profile ===

See the [[xfolk-profile|xFolk profile]] for the [http://gmpg.org/xmdp XMDP] profile of xFolk.

== Example ==
Here is a sample bookmark as displayed in [http://del.icio.us del.icio.us]'s standard markup. Lines where the value of elements' class attributes must change to conform to xFolk are marked with a comment at the end.
<pre><div class="post">

Converting markup to be conformant with xFolk is almost always this easy. The advantage of xFolk is that it provides one set of class attributes that can be reused across all services and link blogs, almost always with no loss of granularity. The next section presents several more examples to illustrate this point.

== Many more examples ==

We have numerous examples to help developers incorporate xFolk into their sites.

=== In the wild ===

These are real live examples of functioning systems that publish bookmarks in xFolk. These are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc. If you publish using xFolk, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Once the list grows too big, we'll make a separate wiki page.

* [http://www.rolandinsh.lv/blog/ Rolands Umbrovskis - blog] all blog posts are marked up with xFolk.
* [http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/bangladeshboat BBC World Service Bangladesh River Journey] a social network mashup, uses basic xFolk for bookmarking hAtom entries. See [http://dharmafly.com/blog/bangladeshboat Dharmafly blog discussion].
* [http://waferbaby.com/hussy waferbaby's Hussy] currently publishes links using xFolk.
* [http://smarking.com/ Smarking] currently publishes all shared links (including search results) using xFolk.
* [http://unalog.com unalog] currently publishes all shared links (including search results) using xFolk.
* [http://de.lirio.us de.lirio.us] currently publishes its bookmarks using xFolk (with the deprecated class attribute <code>extended</code> in place of <code>description</code>, see [[xfolk-profile | the XMDP]]).
* [http://dev.blogmarks.net/wiki/BlogSync blogmarks] currently exports bookmarks to blogs in xFolk (scroll down to the export example on the page; the deprecated class attribute <code>extended</code> is used in place of <code>description</code>, see [[xfolk-profile | the XMDP]]).
* [http://thecommunityengine.com The Community Engine] uses xFolk (with the deprecated class attribute <code>extended</code> in place of <code>description</code>, see [[xfolk-profile | the XMDP]]) for its [http://thecommunityengine.com/home main entries] and for its [http://thecommunityengine.com/webcites republished bookmarks].
* [http://groovymother.com/links/ Groovy Links] is a link blog which is marked up with xFolk.
* [http://tommorris.org/blog/ Tom Morris] - daily del.icio.us links are marked up with xFolk, [[hCard]] and [[vote-links]].

=== Additional social bookmarking services ===

This example illustrates how xFolk may be applied to one additional service:

* [[xfolk-scuttle | scuttle]]

=== Link blogs ===

Social bookmarking services are only the most recent examples of people publishing links. Link blogs have been around almost since the beginning of blogging. They represent somewhat more of a challenge for xFolk because their markup tends to be less semantic from the outset. The following examples illustrate some particular challenges and how they can be overcome.

* [[xfolk-kottke | kottke]]
* [[xfolk-pollas | pollas]]
* [[xfolk-jacobian | jacobian]]
* [[xfolk-julian-bez | julian-bez]]

=== Spam ===
Some spammers are adding xFolk tags to their link farms. (It's probably a bad idea to actually link to these sites.) For example,
* phontron.info

== Implementations ==

The following implementations have been developed which generate or use xFolk. If you have an xFolk implementation, feel free to add it to the top of this list. Once the list grows too big, we'll make a separate wiki page.

== Work in progress ==
Although this specification has recently begun to stabilize as indicated by the version RC1, it is still a work in progress. If warranted, I am prepared to go through multiple release candidates to achieve the narrow purpose of making bookmark entries more genrally accessible with as with as light weight a format as possible. All changes since the last iteration have been motivated by the implementation experience of developers attempting to achieve this narrow aim. Further changes will also most likely be motivated by implementation concerns. See "future directions" below for additional microformat possibilities.

=== Changes since xFolk 0.4 ===
The class attribute value <code>extended</code> was deprecated in favor <code>description</code> to better conform with other microformat usage and some requests during implementation. The other change has been to allow use of multiple elements of class <code>extended</code> based on some use cases discovered in implementation.

=== Future directions ===
There are several extensions one might imagine for xFolk. Frequently, these extensions are best achieved by combining xFolk with another microformat. For instance, one might want to indicate his or her evaluation of the bookmarked item. This might be achieved by using [[vote-links | Vote Links]] or [[hreview | hReview]] with xFolk.

One can also imagine extending xFolk to provide data conformant with various social bookmarking service APIs, for instance to provide all bookmarks by tag. These APIs are currently too fluid for specification in any kind of standard. The APIs and the functionality they provide represent one way social bookmarking services and meta services can differentiate themselves.

A companion format called "xFolk definition" is under development. xFolk definition will provide a means of explicitly defining the tags used in social bookmarks.

<h1> xFolk (RC1) </h1>

'''xFolk''' (from "xFolksomony") is a simple and open format for publishing collections of bookmarks. It better enables services for improving user experience and sharing data in web-based bookmarking software. xFolk may be embedded in HTML or XHTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. It is one of several open [[microformats|microformat]] standards.

__TOC__

== Draft Specification ==

=== Editor/Author ===
[http://thecommunityengine.com/ Bud Gibson] ([http://thecommunityengine.com The Community Engine])

=== Copyright ===
{{MicroFormatCopyrightStatement2005}}

=== Patents ===
{{MicroFormatPatentStatement}}

=== Inspiration and Acknowledgments ===
Thanks to: [http://www.cnbc.cmu.edu/~plaut/ David Plaut] who introduced me to the idea that items may partially belong to many categories at once. More recently, thanks to: [http://tantek.com/ Tantek Çelik], [http://epeus.blogspot.com/ Kevin Marks], [http://steve.osdir.com/ Steve Mallet], [http://hybernaut.com/ Brian DelVecchio], and [http://blogmarks.net François Hodierne] who have contributed to the development of xFolk with thoughtful critiques and implementations.

== Introduction ==
Social bookmarking services let users save and tag bookmarks to share with other users. Over the past year, the number of these services has mushroomed to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking over 20], with popular examples including: [http://del.icio.us del.icio.us], [http://furl.net furl], [http://de.lirio.us de.lirio.us], [http://jots.com jots], and [http://blogmarks.net blogmarks].

Lack of an open, interoperable data standard is a major issue in using social bookmarking services. An open standard would make it possible to easily collect social bookmark data and remix it to invent new services along the lines of [http://gataga.com gataga]'s experimental bookmark search engine. An open standard would also make it possible to write javascripts that work across services [http://johnvey.com/features/deliciousdirector/ as some currently do for del.icio.us], enabling across-the-board improvements in user experience.

xFolk is an open social bookmarking standard that aims to achieve both benefits. Social bookmarking services that adopt xFolk will continue to differentiate themselves with data services. But, the data itself will be easy to manipulate by third party scripts and easy to share. As a result, bookmarking services will be able to offer a wider array of options to their users at low cost and focus on what truly differentiates them. Individuals or groups operating standalone bookmark repositories will have access to a wider array of functionality than they can produce on their own.

== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ==
{{semantic-xhtml-design-principles}}

== Format ==
Extensive analysis of social bookmarking services and linkblogs, reported on [http://thecommunityengine.com/home/archives/xfolk elsewhere], reveals that the data published by both bookmarking services and '''many''' different linkblogs are described by the following implied schema:

* A bookmarked or tagged link.
* A title for the entry.
* Tags for the link.
* An extended description or summary of the link.

As demonstrated in early iterations of the xFolk standard, this general schema can be translated into markup by:

# creating a container element for each entry of class <code>xfolkentry</code>,
# using an <a> element for the bookmarked or tagged link of class <code>taggedlink</code>,
# using title attribute for the tagged link <a> element, if it exists, as the entry title, otherwise using the element value,
# using [[rel-tag]] for the tags, and
# using a container element of class <code>description</code>, such as <p>, for any extended description or summary.

A given xFolk entry will always contain a tagged link including a title with all other elements optional. Entries may have more than one tag as well as more than one element of class <code>description</code>. Multiple elements of class <code>description</code> are ordered by default document order. Semantic elements within xFolk entries may be nested at arbitray depths.

Many social bookmarking systems exist, each with its own markup conventions. Further, many people are already publishing personal link blogs. xFolk is designed with ease of adapting to these current practices as a primary goal. Therefore, few assumptions are made as to the exact kinds of elements used for an xFolk entry. Rather, the work of defining semantics is left entirely to the class and rel (in the case of [[rel-tag]]) attribute values.

It is expected that developers will use [http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath XPath] or equivalent syntax in accessing xFolk entry elements. a requirement for XPath is that the HTML document be well-formed but not necessarily valid. Thus, while not optimal, it is possible to serviceably use xFolk in an HTML document that does not validate.

=== XMDP Profile ===

See the [[xfolk-profile|xFolk profile]] for the [http://gmpg.org/xmdp XMDP] profile of xFolk.

== Example ==
Here is a sample bookmark as displayed in [http://del.icio.us del.icio.us]'s standard markup. Lines where the value of elements' class attributes must change to conform to xFolk are marked with a comment at the end.
<pre><div class="post"> 
<div>
<a class="delLink" href="http://www.sifry.com/alerts/archives/000306.html"> 
Sifry's Alerts: Technorati launches Related Tags
</a>
</div>
<div class="extended">

The equivalent in xFolk is as follows. Comments are placed at the end of lines where class attribute changes were required.

== Grouped Examples ==
This section organizes examples into several rough categories as follows. If an example fits in more than one cateogry, use the *last* matching category in this list that matches the specific hCard example(s) in the wild that you are trying to categorize.
# '''Individuals''' - one card per person, perhaps sort alphabetically by "family-name". People with their own hCards (typically) on their own site.
# '''Organizations''' - one card per organization, alphabetical by "fn". Organizations with their own hCard(s) (typically) on their own site.
# '''Institutions''' - which list more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 40k for Avon. Also indicate complexity of information supplied, eg. just name+number vs. complete details. Alphabetically sorted by "org" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Profiles''' - which host profiles for more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 10m+ for Flickr.com. Alphabetically sorted by "fn" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Venues''' - which provide listings for businesses or organizations, with a count estimating the # of venues, e.g. ~10k for Upcoming.org. Alphabetically sorted by service/site name, with perhaps a few specific venues listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "fn".
# '''Speakers Listings''' - event sites' speakers pages where the speakers are marked up with hCard. Sort by date, sub-grouped by year. Most recent first. Perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet each event, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".

In addition there is a separate "UTF8 Examples" section that can be used to put another link to any hCard examples in the wild which exercise various non-ASCII7 / non-english characters for various property values.

As each section itself become quite large (we might be there already, once we sort through the above "Reviewed Examples"), it will probably be moved to a separate page, leaving its heading here in place, and replacing its contents here with a link to the separate page and perhaps a stats summary.

=== Individuals ===

===UTF8 Examples===
These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.

=hCard Examples in the wild=

This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcard|hCard specification]].

The following sites have published [[hcard|hCards]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If people or organizations on your site are marked up with hCard (even just your own contact information), feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hcard|hCard]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hCard markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcard|hCard]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator hCard creator] to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the [[hcard-authoring|hCard authoring tips]] to add hCard markup to your current contact page.

==Buttons==
You can use these buttons on pages with hCards. See [[buttons#hCard]] for any recent additions.

== Grouped Examples ==
This section organizes examples into several rough categories as follows. If an example fits in more than one cateogry, use the *last* matching category in this list that matches the specific hCard example(s) in the wild that you are trying to categorize.
# '''Individuals''' - one card per person, perhaps sort alphabetically by "family-name". People with their own hCards (typically) on their own site.
# '''Organizations''' - one card per organization, alphabetical by "fn". Organizations with their own hCard(s) (typically) on their own site.
# '''Institutions''' - which list more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 40k for Avon. Also indicate complexity of information supplied, eg. just name+number vs. complete details. Alphabetically sorted by "org" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Profiles''' - which host profiles for more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 10m+ for Flickr.com. Alphabetically sorted by "fn" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Venues''' - which provide listings for businesses or organizations, with a count estimating the # of venues, e.g. ~10k for Upcoming.org. Alphabetically sorted by service/site name, with perhaps a few specific venues listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "fn".
# '''Speakers Listings''' - event sites' speakers pages where the speakers are marked up with hCard. Sort by date, sub-grouped by year. Most recent first. Perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet each event, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".

In addition there is a separate "UTF8 Examples" section that can be used to put another link to any hCard examples in the wild which exercise various non-ASCII7 / non-english characters for various property values.

As each section itself become quite large (we might be there already, once we sort through the above "Reviewed Examples"), it will probably be moved to a separate page, leaving its heading here in place, and replacing its contents here with a link to the separate page and perhaps a stats summary.

===UTF8 Examples===
These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.

=hCard Examples in the wild=

This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[hcard|hCard specification]].

The following sites have published [[hcard|hCards]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc.

If people or organizations on your site are marked up with hCard (even just your own contact information), feel free to add it to the top of this list. Please be sure to include at least one URL to a page on your site that includes actual [[hcard|hCard]] markup. Examples added without a URL to a page with hCard markup may be removed.

Want to get started with writing an [[hcard|hCard]]? Use the [http://microformats.org/code/hcard/creator hCard creator] to write up some contact information and publish it, or follow the [[hcard-authoring|hCard authoring tips]] to add hCard markup to your current contact page.

==Buttons==
You can use these buttons on pages with hCards. See [[buttons#hCard]] for any recent additions.

== Grouped Examples ==
This section organizes examples into several rough categories as follows. If an example fits in more than one cateogry, use the *last* matching category in this list that matches the specific hCard example(s) in the wild that you are trying to categorize.
# '''Individuals''' - one card per person, perhaps sort alphabetically by "family-name". People with their own hCards (typically) on their own site.
# '''Organizations''' - one card per organization, alphabetical by "fn". Organizations with their own hCard(s) (typically) on their own site.
# '''Institutions''' - which list more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 40k for Avon. Also indicate complexity of information supplied, eg. just name+number vs. complete details. Alphabetically sorted by "org" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Profiles''' - which host profiles for more than one person, with a count estimating the # of hCards, e.g. 10m+ for Flickr.com. Alphabetically sorted by "fn" with perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".
# '''Online Venues''' - which provide listings for businesses or organizations, with a count estimating the # of venues, e.g. ~10k for Upcoming.org. Alphabetically sorted by service/site name, with perhaps a few specific venues listed in a single sub-bullet, comma delimited, sorted by "fn".
# '''Speakers Listings''' - event sites' speakers pages where the speakers are marked up with hCard. Sort by date, sub-grouped by year. Most recent first. Perhaps a few individuals listed in a single sub-bullet each event, comma delimited, sorted by "family-name".

In addition there is a separate "UTF8 Examples" section that can be used to put another link to any hCard examples in the wild which exercise various non-ASCII7 / non-english characters for various property values.

As each section itself become quite large (we might be there already, once we sort through the above "Reviewed Examples"), it will probably be moved to a separate page, leaving its heading here in place, and replacing its contents here with a link to the separate page and perhaps a stats summary.

===UTF8 Examples===
These examples all contain one or more characters in UTF8 that are outside the ASCII7 range and make for excellent test cases to make sure you are handling UTF8 properly throughout your hCard parsing and transforming. And especially if you are generating vCards, these test cases will help you make sure you are generating UTF8 vCards in such a way that can be recognized by UTF8 supporting vCard applications.

Rolandinsh: /* Examples in the wild */ CV of Rolands Umbrovskis added to list of hResume

<h1> hResume </h1>

hResume is a microformat for publishing resumes and CVs. hResume is one of several open microformat standards suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

Want to get started with writing an hResume? Use the [http://hresume.weblogswork.com/hresumecreator/ hResume Creator] to create your hResume and publish it, or follow the hResume authoring tips to add hResume markup to your web page or blog.

<h2> Microformats Draft Specification </h2>

; Editor/Author: [http://theryanking.com Ryan King]
; Acknowledgments: See [http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume#Acknowledgements acknowledgments].

Microformats [http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume#Copyright copyright] and [http://microformats.org/wiki/hresume#Patents patents] statements apply.

__TOC__

== Status ==
Draft, version 0.1.

== Introduction ==
=== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ===
{{SemanticXHTMLDesignPrinciples}}

== Format ==
=== In General ===
The hResume format is based on a set of fields common to numerous resumes published today on the web. Where possible field names have been chosen and reused from preexisting microformats.

=== Schema ===
The hResume schema consists of the following:

* hResume
** summary. optional. text.
** contact info. required. '''Must''' use [[hcard|hCard]]. '''Should''' use <code class="element"><address></code> + [[hcard|hCard]].
** experience. optional. One or more [[hcalendar]] events with the class name '<code class="class-name">experience</code>', with an embedded [[hcard|hCard]] indicating the job title, name of company, address of company etc.
** education. optional One or more [[hcalendar]] events with the class name '<code class="class-name">education</code>', with an embedded [[hcard|hCard]] indicating the name of school, address of school etc.
** skills. optional. phrases or keywords using the [[rel-tag]] microformat with the class name '<code class="class-name">skill</code>'.
** affiliations. optional. the class name <code class="class-name">affiliation</code> along with an [[hcard]] of the organization
** publications. optional. One or more citations. Use cite tag.

=== Field details ===
The fields of the hResume schema represent the following:

* '''<code class="class-name">hresume</code>''':: root class name
* '''<code class="class-name">summary</code>''':: The class name <code class="class-name">summary</code> is used to mark up an overview of qualifications and objectives.
* '''contact''':: Current contact info in an [[hCard]]. '''Should''' use <code class="element"><address></code> with [[hCard]] when possible.
* '''<code class="class-name">education</code>''':: the class name '<code class="class-name">education</code>' is applied to an [[hcalendar]] event.
* '''<code class="class-name">experience</code>''':: the class name '<code class="class-name">experience</code>' is applied to an [[hcalendar]] event. Job titles/positions should use an [[hCard]].
* '''<code class="class-name">skill</code>''':: An hResume may be tagged using the [[rel-tag]] microformat and the '<code class="class-name">skill</code>' class name.
* '''<code class="class-name">affiliation</code>''':: The class name <code="class-name">affiliation</code> is used along with an [[hcard]] of the organization
* '''<code class="class-name">publications</code>''':: just use <code class="element"><cite></code>. When there is a [[citation]] microformat, then that can be used in combination with the cite element to further markup the components of the citation.

== Examples ==
=== Summary ===
An example summary:

<span>Phone: <span class="tel">+01.208.555.4567</span></span>
</address>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Education ===
<pre><nowiki>
<ol class="vcalendar">
<li class="education vevent">
<a class="url summary" href="http://example.edu/">Preston High School</a>
(<abbr class="dtstart" title="2001-01-24">2001</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="2005-05-25">2005</abbr>)
</li>
...
</nowiki></pre>

=== Experience ===
==== Basic ====
A basic experience event:

<pre><nowiki>
<ol class="vcalendar">
<li class="experience vevent">
<span class="summary">President</span>,
<span class="location">Preston High School</span>,
<abbr class="dtstart" title="2004-09-01">May 2004</abbr> - <abbr title="2005-05-25">present</abbr>
</li>
...
</nowiki></pre>

==== Job Titles ====
To express one or more job titles/positions in the same experience event you should use [[hCard]]s. [[hcard]] requires the <code class="class-name">fn</code> ("formatted name") field, but it isn't reasonable to repeat your name for every job title you mark up in [[hResume|hresume]]. So, you may use an <code class="element"><object></code> and the class name '<code class="class-name">include</code>' with a reference to the <code class="class-name">fn</code> somewhere else on the page.

For example, this [[hCard]] refers to another [[hCard]]

<span class="vcard">
<object data="#j" class="include"></object>
<span class="org">Preston High School</span>
<span class="title">Class President</span>
</span>
</pre>

Where "<code class="attr-value">j</code>" is the id attribute value of the "<code class="mf-prop">fn n</code>" element of the contact [[hCard]] at the top of the page, e.g. (shown here as a verbose [[hCard]] for purposes of illustration that the reference may be to a subtree, not just a text node):

<pre><nowiki>
<address class="vcard">
<span class="fn n" id="j">
<span class="given-name">Pedro</span>
<span class="family-name">Sanchez</span>
</span>
</address>
</nowiki></pre>

This method of hCard property indirection via an object element [[include-pattern|has been generalized]] to apply to any/all string/text properties in hCard.
Note: the object data attribute MUST be a local ID reference. External references (which would require a consuming application to load an external resource) are currently not supported by this method.

=== Skills ===
Some sample skills tags:
<pre><nowiki>
I have skills in <a class="skill" rel="tag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_%28weapon%29">bow hunting</a>
and <a class="skill" rel="tag" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunchucks">nunchucks</a>.
</nowiki></pre>

=== Affiliations ===
<pre><nowiki>
<span class="affiliation vcard"><span class="fn org">National Honor Society</span></span>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Publications ===
<pre><nowiki>
<cite>Breeding Ligers for Fun and Magic</cite>, Idaho Press, 2004.

== Examples in the wild ==
This section is '''informative'''.

The following sites have published hResumes, and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc. If you have an hResume on your own page, feel free to add it to the '''top''' of this list.
