Attention Brainstorming
This page is for brainstorming about ideas, proposals, constraints, requirements for an Attention microformat.

Experience
Both Technorati and Attensa have implementation experience with Attention.XML and other attention formats.
Other Attention-like Things
Lessons Learned
- Hierarchy in the format gets in the way more than it helps
- Need to define a minimally useful subset for ease of implementation and interoperability
- Need to "chunk" any sets of additional data
Goals / Requirements
Definite
- Needs to be represent sparse (over time and source) data
- "Blendable" - get an attention "chunk" every day from a source and be able to aggregate the chunks into one attention file.
- Flat by default. Permit hierarchy but don't require it, and don't require parsing of a hierarchy (i.e. allow treating the attention as set of attention items).
Strawman Schema Thoughts
Each Attention Item contains
item info
- item url (rss article url, etc)
- parent context (feed or source site, )
- attention date (article last read time)
implicit info
- duration (attention duration, how long did i look at this page or article)
- followed links (click through. could result in a next attention item)
- read state
explicit info
- voting
- hReview
- rating
- tag
- explicit read or unread state
- date removed
Item Containers
