Designed for humans first and machines second, microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing and widely adopted standards. Instead of throwing away what works today, microformats intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns.

* A way of thinking about data

* Adapted to current behaviors and usage patterns (“[http://ifindkarma.typepad.com/relax/2004/12/microformats.html Pave the cow paths].”)
* Highly correlated with semantic XHTML, AKA the [http://www.tantek.com/presentations/2004etech/realworldsemanticspres.html real world semantics, AKA lowercase semantic web], AKA lossless HTML
* A set of simple open data format standards that many are actively developing and implementing for more/better structured blogging and web microcontent publishing in general.
