<h1>Microformats Implementations and Implementers</h1>

This page lists the applications, plugins, sample code, services, tools that produce or consume microformats as well as companies, developers, and organizations who implement the aforementioned. This is only a partial list. If you know other companies implementing tools for microformats, please add them and list their services/tools and what specific microformats they support.
__TOC__

== Implementations vs. Examples in the Wild ==

This page is ''only'' for implementations of tools that publish or consume microformats. Companies simply ''using'' microformats on their pages/sites belong in the "Examples in the wild" sections of those respective microformats, e.g.:
* [[hcard-examples-in-wild|hCard Examples in the wild]]
* [[hcalendar-examples-in-wild|hCalendar Examples in the wild]]
* etc.

== Editing This Page ==

This page is primarily composed of two big lists:
* [[implementations#Applications_.2F_Plugins_.2F_Services_.2F_Tools|Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools]]
* [[implementations#Companies_.2F_Developers_.2F_Organizations|Companies / Developers / Organizations]]

When you find an implementation, first make sure that it is ''actually'' an implementation as opposed to ''just'' an [[hcard-examples-in-wild|example in the wild]] of publishing microformats (see above).

Second, note the name of the ''tool or service'' separately from the name of the ''developer(s)'' who wrote the tool/service.

Add a third level heading with the name of the tool/service ( <code>=== Name of Tool ===</code> ) to the Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools section, sorted alphabetically by name of tool/service. Add a top level list item (*) just below the heading with an external link to the tool/service, along with a link to evidence of their support for microformats, and mention (and locally link) each microformat that is supported.

Add a nested list item <code>* by Name of Developer</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Developer to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. Apple Computer would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#Apple_Computer|Apple Computer]]</nowiki></code>

Check to see if there is an entry for the developer in the list of Companies / Developers / Organizations, if not add a third level heading with the name of the developer ( <code>=== Name of Developer ===</code> ), alphabetically sorted by name of developer. Add a link to the developer's home page followed by "has implemented microformats in:".

In the entry for the developer, add a list item <code>* Name of Tool</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Tool to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. X2V would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#X2V|X2V]]</nowiki></code>

Save the page and make sure that each fragment ID local hyperlink when clicked scrolls you to the right spot (for the developer, and for the tool). Make any fix-up edits as necessary. That's it!

== Formats ==

Most microformat specifications have an "implementations" section, e.g.:
* [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Implementations hCalendar], [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Implementations hCard], [http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag#Implementations rel-tag], [http://microformats.org/wiki/vote-links#Implementations vote-links], [http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo#Implementations XOXO] etc.

In addition, some microformat specifications have separate implementation pages:
* [[xfn-implementations]]

== Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools ==

This is an alphabetical listing of all applications, plugins (grouped with their app/tool), services and tools that implement microformats, along with the list of microformats that are supported, and the company and/or developers responsible for it.

As a user, the implementations listed below will automatically help you use microformats and help your data portability and interoperability with other apps and services.

Please help complete this list! If you know of additional apps/plugins/services/tools that support microformats, please add them!

Note: this section is only for listing specific ''implementations''. The list of ''implementors'' is in the [[implementations#Companies / Developers / Organizations|Companies / Developers / Organizations]] section below.

Thanks to all of the hardworking developers and innovative companies and organizations for supporting microformats.

This is an alphabetical listing of all companies, developers (by last name) and organizations who have built and shipped at least one implementation (see above for details of each implementation) that users can use.

Please help complete this list! If you have coded support for microformats and don't see your name, add it! If your company supports microformats in its applications, add it!

Note: please add direct links to specific applications, plugins, services, or tools to the list of [[implementations#Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools|Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools]] and then link to those from their implementor with a fragment identifier link, e.g. to link to the "Cork'd" wine review community:
* <nowiki>[[implementations#Cork'd|Cork'd]]</nowiki>
Similarly, for additional sites, put direct links to them in the [[implementations#Additional Sites|Additional Sites]] section and then link to them from their implementor with a fragment identifier link.

<h1>Microformats Implementations and Implementers</h1>

This page lists the applications, plugins, sample code, services, tools that produce or consume microformats as well as companies, developers, and organizations who implement the aforementioned. This is only a partial list. If you know other companies implementing tools for microformats, please add them and list their services/tools and what specific microformats they support.
__TOC__

== Implementations vs. Examples in the Wild ==

This page is ''only'' for implementations of tools that publish or consume microformats. Companies simply ''using'' microformats on their pages/sites belong in the "Examples in the wild" sections of those respective microformats, e.g.:
* [[hcard-examples-in-wild|hCard Examples in the wild]]
* [[hcalendar-examples-in-wild|hCalendar Examples in the wild]]
* etc.

== Editing This Page ==

This page is primarily composed of two big lists:
* [[implementations#Applications_.2F_Plugins_.2F_Services_.2F_Tools|Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools]]
* [[implementations#Companies_.2F_Developers_.2F_Organizations|Companies / Developers / Organizations]]

When you find an implementation, first make sure that it is ''actually'' an implementation as opposed to ''just'' an [[hcard-examples-in-wild|example in the wild]] of publishing microformats (see above).

Second, note the name of the ''tool or service'' separately from the name of the ''developer(s)'' who wrote the tool/service.

Add a third level heading with the name of the tool/service ( <code>=== Name of Tool ===</code> ) to the Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools section, sorted alphabetically by name of tool/service. Add a top level list item (*) just below the heading with an external link to the tool/service, along with a link to evidence of their support for microformats, and mention (and locally link) each microformat that is supported.

Add a nested list item <code>* by Name of Developer</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Developer to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. Apple Computer would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#Apple_Computer|Apple Computer]]</nowiki></code>

Check to see if there is an entry for the developer in the list of Companies / Developers / Organizations, if not add a third level heading with the name of the developer ( <code>=== Name of Developer ===</code> ), alphabetically sorted by name of developer. Add a link to the developer's home page followed by "has implemented microformats in:".

In the entry for the developer, add a list item <code>* Name of Tool</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Tool to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. X2V would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#X2V|X2V]]</nowiki></code>

Save the page and make sure that each fragment ID local hyperlink when clicked scrolls you to the right spot (for the developer, and for the tool). Make any fix-up edits as necessary. That's it!

== Formats ==

Most microformat specifications have an "implementations" section, e.g.:
* [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Implementations hCalendar], [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Implementations hCard], [http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag#Implementations rel-tag], [http://microformats.org/wiki/vote-links#Implementations vote-links], [http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo#Implementations XOXO] etc.

In addition, some microformat specifications have separate implementation pages:
* [[xfn-implementations]]

== Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools ==

This is an alphabetical listing of all applications, plugins (grouped with their app/tool), services and tools that implement microformats, along with the list of microformats that are supported, and the company and/or developers responsible for it.

As a user, the implementations listed below will automatically help you use microformats and help your data portability and interoperability with other apps and services.

Please help complete this list! If you know of additional apps/plugins/services/tools that support microformats, please add them!

Note: this section is only for listing specific ''implementations''. The list of ''implementors'' is in the [[implementations#Companies / Developers / Organizations|Companies / Developers / Organizations]] section below.

WikiDude: /* Companies / Developers / Organizations */

<h1>Microformats Implementations and Implementers</h1>

This page lists the applications, plugins, sample code, services, tools that produce or consume microformats as well as companies, developers, and organizations who implement the aforementioned. This is only a partial list. If you know other companies implementing tools for microformats, please add them and list their services/tools and what specific microformats they support.
__TOC__

== Implementations vs. Examples in the Wild ==

This page is ''only'' for implementations of tools that publish or consume microformats. Companies simply ''using'' microformats on their pages/sites belong in the "Examples in the wild" sections of those respective microformats, e.g.:
* [[hcard-examples-in-wild|hCard Examples in the wild]]
* [[hcalendar-examples-in-wild|hCalendar Examples in the wild]]
* etc.

== Editing This Page ==

This page is primarily composed of two big lists:
* [[implementations#Applications_.2F_Plugins_.2F_Services_.2F_Tools|Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools]]
* [[implementations#Companies_.2F_Developers_.2F_Organizations|Companies / Developers / Organizations]]

When you find an implementation, first make sure that it is ''actually'' an implementation as opposed to ''just'' an [[hcard-examples-in-wild|example in the wild]] of publishing microformats (see above).

Second, note the name of the ''tool or service'' separately from the name of the ''developer(s)'' who wrote the tool/service.

Add a third level heading with the name of the tool/service ( <code>=== Name of Tool ===</code> ) to the Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools section, sorted alphabetically by name of tool/service. Add a top level list item (*) just below the heading with an external link to the tool/service, along with a link to evidence of their support for microformats, and mention (and locally link) each microformat that is supported.

Add a nested list item <code>* by Name of Developer</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Developer to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. Apple Computer would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#Apple_Computer|Apple Computer]]</nowiki></code>

Check to see if there is an entry for the developer in the list of Companies / Developers / Organizations, if not add a third level heading with the name of the developer ( <code>=== Name of Developer ===</code> ), alphabetically sorted by name of developer. Add a link to the developer's home page followed by "has implemented microformats in:".

In the entry for the developer, add a list item <code>* Name of Tool</code> and local hyperlink the Name of Tool to a fragment identifier in this page, e.g. X2V would be linked like this: <code><nowiki>[[implementations#X2V|X2V]]</nowiki></code>

Save the page and make sure that each fragment ID local hyperlink when clicked scrolls you to the right spot (for the developer, and for the tool). Make any fix-up edits as necessary. That's it!

== Formats ==

Most microformat specifications have an "implementations" section, e.g.:
* [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar#Implementations hCalendar], [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Implementations hCard], [http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag#Implementations rel-tag], [http://microformats.org/wiki/vote-links#Implementations vote-links], [http://microformats.org/wiki/xoxo#Implementations XOXO] etc.

In addition, some microformat specifications have separate implementation pages:
* [[xfn-implementations]]

== Applications / Plugins / Services / Tools ==

This is an alphabetical listing of all applications, plugins (grouped with their app/tool), services and tools that implement microformats, along with the list of microformats that are supported, and the company and/or developers responsible for it.

As a user, the implementations listed below will automatically help you use microformats and help your data portability and interoperability with other apps and services.

Please help complete this list! If you know of additional apps/plugins/services/tools that support microformats, please add them!

WikiDude: /* Examples in the Wild */

<h1> rel-tag </h1>

__TOC__

== Draft Specification 2005-01-10 ==
=== Editors/Authors ===
[http://tantek.com/ Tantek Çelik]

[http://epeus.blogspot.com/ Kevin Marks]

=== Concept ===
[http://powazek.com/ Derek Powazek]

=== Copyright ===
{{MicroFormatCopyrightStatement2004}}

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

== Abstract ==
[[Rel-Tag]] is one of several [[MicroFormats]]. By adding <code>rel="tag"</code> to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an author-designated "tag" (or keyword/subject) for the current page. Note that a tag may just refer to a major portion of the current page (i.e. a blog post). e.g. by placing this link on a page,

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tech" rel="tag">tech</a></nowiki></pre>

the author indicates that the page (or some portion of the page) has the tag "tech".

The linked page SHOULD exist, and it is the linked page, rather than the link text, that defines the tag. The last path component of the URL
is the text of the tag, so

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tech" rel="tag">fish</a></nowiki></pre>

would indicate the tag "tech" rather than "fish".

== Scope ==
rel="tag" is specifically designed for "tagging" content, typically web pages (or portions thereof, like blog posts).

rel="tag" is NOT designed for "tagging" arbitrary URLs or external content. There is demand for a general decentralized syntax for tagging URLs external to the current page, but this is not meant for that. See [[xfolk|xFolk]] and [[hreview|hReview]] for ways to tag arbitrary URLs.

If you need to define tags as part of a more specialised format, rel="tag" is the recommended way to do so, and [[xfolk|xFolk]], [[hreview|hReview]], [[hcard |hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] all do this.
== XMDP profile ==
<pre><nowiki>
<dl class="profile">
<dt id="rel">rel</dt>
<dd><p>
<a rel="help" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#adef-rel">
HTML4 definition of the 'rel' attribute.</a>
Here is an additional value.</p>
<dl>
<dt id="tag">tag</dt>
<dd>Indicates that the referred resource serves as a "tag",
or keyword/subject, for the referring page.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
</nowiki></pre>

== Tag Spaces ==

Tags are embedded in HTTP URIs in a well-defined manner so that the tag embedded in an HTTP URI can be mechanically extracted from that URI. Specifically, the last segment of the path portion of the URI (after the final "/" character) contains the tag value. For example, the URI <pre><nowiki>http://www.example.com/tags/foo</nowiki></pre> contains the tag "foo".

Thus, for the purposes of comparing two HTTP URIs as tags, the last segment of the path portion should be extracted and only that value (that value of the tag) should be compared.

''Need more formal language about comparison and extraction process.''

The destination of a rel="tag" hyperlink is required to be a tag space (a place that collates or defines tags), where the last segment of the path of the URL is the tag, e.g.

<pre><nowiki>http://technorati.com/tag/tech </nowiki></pre>

is a URL for the tag "tech".

Tags may only be placed in the URL path, and only in the last segment of the path. Tags may not be placed in query parameters or fragment identifiers. e.g.

<pre><nowiki>http://technorati.com/tag/tech?tag=fish#emu </nowiki></pre>

is still a URL for the tag "tech", not "fish" or "emu".

Since the only part of a tag space URL of which any structure is required is the last path segment, a tag space URL can be hosted at any domain. Authors may choose to link to a tag at a particular tag space in order to provide a specific meaning. E.g. a tag for technology could link to:

<pre><nowiki> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology </nowiki></pre>

Trailing slashes in tag URLs are ignored, that is:

<pre><nowiki> http://technorati.com/tag/Technology/ </nowiki></pre>
as a rel-tag URL is treated as:
<pre><nowiki> http://technorati.com/tag/Technology </nowiki></pre>

== Encoding issues ==
Spaces can be encoded either as <code>+</code> or <code>%20</code>. Unicode characters are encoded as specified in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt RFC 3986]. For example:

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Sant%C3%A9+et+bien-%C3%AAtre" rel="tag">Santé et bien-être</a> </nowiki></pre>

Note that if using Wikipedia as a tagspace, as discussed above, you should use <code>%20</code> as they remap '+' to <code>%2B</code>, causing a page with a plus sign in the title (which usually does not exist) to appear.

== Tags Are Visible Metadata ==
<code>rel="tag"</code> hyperlinks are intended to be visible links on pages and posts. This is in stark contrast to meta keywords (which were invisible and typically never revealed to readers), and thus is at least somewhat more resilient to the problems which plagued meta keywords.

Making tag hyperlinks visible has the additional benefit of making it more obvious to readers if a page is abusing tag links, and thus providing more peer pressure for better behavior. It also makes it more obvious to authors, who may not always be aware what invisible metadata is being generated on their behalf.

As a result the invisible tag link syntax variant: <code><link rel="tag" href="..." /></code> SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations.

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

WikiDude: /* Examples in the Wild */

<h1> rel-tag </h1>

__TOC__

== Draft Specification 2005-01-10 ==
=== Editors/Authors ===
[http://tantek.com/ Tantek Çelik]

[http://epeus.blogspot.com/ Kevin Marks]

=== Concept ===

== Abstract ==
[[Rel-Tag]] is one of several [[MicroFormats]]. By adding <code>rel="tag"</code> to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an author-designated "tag" (or keyword/subject) for the current page. Note that a tag may just refer to a major portion of the current page (i.e. a blog post). e.g. by placing this link on a page,

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tech" rel="tag">tech</a></nowiki></pre>

the author indicates that the page (or some portion of the page) has the tag "tech".

The linked page SHOULD exist, and it is the linked page, rather than the link text, that defines the tag. The last path component of the URL
is the text of the tag, so

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/tech" rel="tag">fish</a></nowiki></pre>

would indicate the tag "tech" rather than "fish".

== Scope ==
rel="tag" is specifically designed for "tagging" content, typically web pages (or portions thereof, like blog posts).

rel="tag" is NOT designed for "tagging" arbitrary URLs or external content. There is demand for a general decentralized syntax for tagging URLs external to the current page, but this is not meant for that. See [[xfolk|xFolk]] and [[hreview|hReview]] for ways to tag arbitrary URLs.

If you need to define tags as part of a more specialised format, rel="tag" is the recommended way to do so, and [[xfolk|xFolk]], [[hreview|hReview]], [[hcard |hCard]] and [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] all do this.
== XMDP profile ==
<pre><nowiki>
<dl class="profile">
<dt id="rel">rel</dt>
<dd><p>
<a rel="help" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#adef-rel">
HTML4 definition of the 'rel' attribute.</a>
Here is an additional value.</p>
<dl>
<dt id="tag">tag</dt>
<dd>Indicates that the referred resource serves as a "tag",
or keyword/subject, for the referring page.</dd>
</dl>
</dd>
</dl>
</nowiki></pre>

== Tag Spaces ==

Tags are embedded in HTTP URIs in a well-defined manner so that the tag embedded in an HTTP URI can be mechanically extracted from that URI. Specifically, the last segment of the path portion of the URI (after the final "/" character) contains the tag value. For example, the URI <pre><nowiki>http://www.example.com/tags/foo</nowiki></pre> contains the tag "foo".

Thus, for the purposes of comparing two HTTP URIs as tags, the last segment of the path portion should be extracted and only that value (that value of the tag) should be compared.

''Need more formal language about comparison and extraction process.''

The destination of a rel="tag" hyperlink is required to be a tag space (a place that collates or defines tags), where the last segment of the path of the URL is the tag, e.g.

<pre><nowiki>http://technorati.com/tag/tech </nowiki></pre>

is a URL for the tag "tech".

Tags may only be placed in the URL path, and only in the last segment of the path. Tags may not be placed in query parameters or fragment identifiers. e.g.

<pre><nowiki>http://technorati.com/tag/tech?tag=fish#emu </nowiki></pre>

is still a URL for the tag "tech", not "fish" or "emu".

Since the only part of a tag space URL of which any structure is required is the last path segment, a tag space URL can be hosted at any domain. Authors may choose to link to a tag at a particular tag space in order to provide a specific meaning. E.g. a tag for technology could link to:

<pre><nowiki> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology </nowiki></pre>

Trailing slashes in tag URLs are ignored, that is:

<pre><nowiki> http://technorati.com/tag/Technology/ </nowiki></pre>
as a rel-tag URL is treated as:
<pre><nowiki> http://technorati.com/tag/Technology </nowiki></pre>

== Encoding issues ==
Spaces can be encoded either as <code>+</code> or <code>%20</code>. Unicode characters are encoded as specified in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt RFC 3986]. For example:

<pre><nowiki><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Sant%C3%A9+et+bien-%C3%AAtre" rel="tag">Santé et bien-être</a> </nowiki></pre>

Note that if using Wikipedia as a tagspace, as discussed above, you should use <code>%20</code> as they remap '+' to <code>%2B</code>, causing a page with a plus sign in the title (which usually does not exist) to appear.

== Tags Are Visible Metadata ==
<code>rel="tag"</code> hyperlinks are intended to be visible links on pages and posts. This is in stark contrast to meta keywords (which were invisible and typically never revealed to readers), and thus is at least somewhat more resilient to the problems which plagued meta keywords.

Making tag hyperlinks visible has the additional benefit of making it more obvious to readers if a page is abusing tag links, and thus providing more peer pressure for better behavior. It also makes it more obvious to authors, who may not always be aware what invisible metadata is being generated on their behalf.

As a result the invisible tag link syntax variant: <code><link rel="tag" href="..." /></code> SHOULD NOT be supported by implementations.
