میکروفرمت ها چیستند؟

Microformats are a way of adding simple markup to human-readable data items such as events, contact details or locations, on web pages, so that the information in them can be extracted by software and indexed, searched for, saved, cross-referenced or combined.

More technically, they are items of semantic markup, using just standard "plain old semantic (X)HTML" (i.e. "POSH") with a set of common class-names and "rel" values. They are open and available, freely, for anyone to use.

چرا میکروفرمت

برای چه به سراغ میکروفرمت ها آمده ایم؟

به طور خلاصه، میکروفرمت ها برای پوشش چند هدف ساخته شده اند:

1. گام منطقی بعدی در تکامل طراحی وب و معماری اطلاعات می باشد
2. a way for people and organisations to publish richer information themselves, without having to rely upon centralized services
3. an acknowledgement that (outside of specialist areas) "traditional" metadata efforts have either failed or taken so long to garner any adoption, that a new approach was necessary
4. راهی برای استفاده از (X)HTML برای داده ها.

• Microformats are a simple effort which has appealed to many frustrated with previous complex efforts. One parallel that can be drawn is to REST in the web services world - for more on REST see suggested reading on REST.
