</ul>
<br> Solution?
<br>Author -- should use hCard. OK
<br>Mulitple authors? Multiple hCards.
<br> use hidden SPANs?
<br> use CSS classes for k-authors: 1st-author, 2nd-author? generic "author" class?
<br> ol + span?
<br> how to "loft" dc:author inot microformats use in CSS class= attrs? --
<em>create an XMDP for Dublin Core (creator, etc)</em>
<pre>
.author + .author + .author + .author {display: none}
.author + .author + .author {content: " et al."}

<h2> Existing Example</h2>
<p>Let's start with a concrete example of a particular bibliography presentation
</p>

</pre>
<p>How would we mark that up?</p>
<pre class="example">
<span class="vcard">
<span class="fn n">
<span class="family-name "<Goland</span>,
<abbr class="given-name" title="Yaron">Y.</abbr>
</span>
</span>
</pre>
<h2>Goals</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Stop having to re-key references!</strong></li>
<li>Adapt to new Journal styles solely by changin the CSS?</li>
</ol>
<h2>Why a Microformat?</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Presentation matters!</strong></li>
<li>A predecessor format exists:
<ul>
<li>BibTeX</li>
<li>Endnote</li>
<li>Dublin Core</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<hr>
<strong>the microformats way</strong>
<ul><li>
solve a specific problem
</li><li>
make evolutionary improvements
</li><li>
be as simple as possible, perhaps solve a simpler problem first
</li><li>
adapt to current behaviors and usage patterns, e.g. (X)HTML, blogging
</li><li>
presentable <em>and</em> parsable
</li><li>
reuse existing microformats and well established schemas (e.g. IETF RFCs) as building blocks
</li><li>
design to be reused and embedded inside existing formats and microformats
</li><li>
enable and encourage decentralized development and services
</li> </ul>

<h2>The Microformats Checklist</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Specific Problem?</dt>
<dd>Are we close? the library science rathole is pretty deep, folks....</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Notes</h2>
<p>Typically have access to "rendered"/"flattened" papers without the structured data</p>
