Introduction
De nombreux sites web publient des critiques en utilisant une large variété de schémas de toutes sortes pour toutes sortes de produits (films, musique, livres), en passant par les commerces (restaurants, hôtels, magasins), les événements (concerts, théâtre), les personnes (artistes, leaders, célébrités), pour des endroits (parcs, centres de loisirs), des ressources en ligne (pages web, fichiers), jusqu'aux critiques de critiques elles-même.
Afin de permettre et d'encourager le partage, la distribution, la syndication et l'agrégation de critiques, les auteurs proposent le microformat hReview, un standard ouvert pour les critiques distribuées. Les auteurs ont cherché tant de nombreux exemples de critiques dans la nature, ont fait des premiers essais sur review-formats-fr, et ont conçu hReview autour d'un schéma simple et minimal pour les critiques. Le Feedback est encouragé sur la page hReview feedback.
Inspiration et Remerciements
Merci à tous ceux qui ont répondu à l'appel ouvert pour participation à l'implémentation du hReview. Les auteurs souhaitent tout particulièrement remercier les individus suivants pour leurs avis constructifs et leurs feedback : Richard Ault, Danny Ayers, Jeffrey Barr,Adrian Cuthbert, Jason DeFillippo, Brian Del Vecchio, Scott Derringer, Bud Gibson, Joi Ito, Gen Kanai, Niall Kennedy, Rohit Khare, Ryan King, Jonas Luster, Kevin Marks, Mark Nottingham, Derek Powazek, Jeff Rodenburg, David Sifry, James Stewart, Adriaan Tijsseling, Phillip Torrone, Thai Tran, Phillip Winn, YAMAMOTO Yohei.
Etendue
Les critiques partagent de manière cohérente plusieurs champs communs. Le hReview a été basé sur ce sous-ensemble minimal commun.
Hors-sujet
Les champs qui sont spécifiques à un type ont été omis de hReview. Il est important que hReview soit maintenu simple et minimal dès le démarrage. Des fonctionalités supplémentaires peuvent être ajoutées par l'expérience pratique de mise en oeuvre.
Le concept d'un "identifiant universel d'objet", ce qui veut dire, comment identifier le même objet/item/produit à travers différents sites de commerce, même s'il est quelque part très utile d'en disposer, est ici hors du champ d'application de ce format.
Principes De Design XHTML Sémantique
Note : les Principes de Design XHTML Sémantique ont été écrits initialement dans le contexte de développement de hCard et hCalendar, par conséquent il peut être plus facile de comprendre ces principes dans le contexte de la méthodologie de design hCard (ce qui veut dire, lisez ça d'abord). Tantek
XHTML est construit sur du XML, et par conséquent les formats fondés sur XHTML peuvent être utilisés non seulement pour une présentation d'affichage pratique, mais aussi à des fins d'échanges de données. A bien des façons, les formats fondés sur XHTML illustrent le meilleur des mondes tant du HTML que du XML. Néanmoins au moment de construire des formats basés sur XHTML, cela aide d'avoir un ensemble de principes directeurs.
- Réutilisez autant que possible le schéma (noms, objets, propriétés, valeurs, types, hiérarchies, contraintes) à partir des standards de référence établis et bien supportés. Evitez de redéclarer les contraintes exprimées dans le standard source. Des mentions à titre d'information peuvent passer.
- Pour les types avec plusieurs composants, utilisez des éléments imbriqués avec des noms de classe équivalents aux noms des composants.
- Les composants pluriels sont produits au singulier, et par conséquent plusieurs éléments imbriqués sont utilisés pour représenter plusieurs valeurs de texte qui sont délimitées par des virgules.
- Utilisez la sémantique XHTML la plus précise pour construire des blocs pour chaque objet, etc.
- Autrement utilisez un élément générique structurel (par ex.
<span>
ou<div>
), ou l'élément contextuel approprié (par ex. un<li>
dans un<ul>
ou<ol>
). - Utilisez des noms de classes basés sur des noms extraits du schéma original, à moins que le XHTML sémantique de construction de bloc ne représente précisément cette partie du schéma original. Si les noms dans le schéma original ne sont pas sensibles la casse, alors mettez tout dans un équivalent en bas de casse. Les noms de composants implicites en prose (plutôt qu'explicites dans le schéma défini) devraient aussi utiliser les équivalents bas de casse pour une facilité d'utilisation. Les espaces dans les noms des composants deviennent des caractères tiret '-'.
- Pour finir, si le format de la donnée selon le schéma original est trop long et/ou non amical sur le plan humain, utilisez
<abbr>
au lieu d'un élément générique structurel, et placez les données littérales dans l'attribut 'title' (là où vont les expansions abbr), et l'équivalent le plus bref et le plus lisible humainement dans l'élément lui-même. De plus amples explications de cet usage de<abbr>

Format
En Général
Le format hReview est fondé sur un ensemble de champs communs à de nombreux sites de critiques et formats en usage aujourd'hui sur le web. Là où les noms de champs possibles ont été choisis en se fondant sur ceux définis par les standards apparentés hCard et hCalendar.
Schéma
Le schéma hReview est constitué comme suit :
- hReview (
hreview
)version
. optionnel. texte.summary
. optionnel. texte.- item
type
. optionnel. product | business | event | person | place | website | url. item
info. requis. (fn
||url
||photo
) | hCard (pour personne ou business) | hCalendar (pour événement event)reviewer
. optionnel. hCard.dtreviewed
. optionnel. ISO8601 absolute date time.rating
. optionnel. fixed point integer [1.0-5.0], with optional alternateworst
(default:1.0) and/orbest
(default:5.0), also fixed point integers, and explicitvalue
.description
. optionnel. texte avec balisage optionnel XHTML valide.- tags. optionnel. mots-clés ou phrases,utilisant rel-tag-fr, chacun avec une notation en option.
- permalink. optionnel, utilisant rel-bookmark-fr et rel-self-fr.
- license. optionnel, utilisant rel-license-fr.
Détails des Champs
Les champs du schéma hReview représentent ce qui suit :
version:: Ce champ optionnel permet aux auteurs de hReview de spécifier une version particulière du hReview que leur contenu utilise. En omettant ce champ, l'auteur déclare que les implémentations peuvent interpréter les hReviews selon n'importe quelle version de la spécification hReview v0.2 ou suivante. En pratique, les auteurs de cette spécification sont engagés pour maintenir une compatibilité descendante avec le contenu produit par l'utilisation de versions plus anciennes de la spécification. Ce champ est compatible avec la syntaxe, et réutilise de ce fait la sémantique de "VERSION" comme définie dans la vCard RFC2426 section "3.6.9 VERSION Type Definition". La valeur de ce champ pour cette spécification est "0.3".
summary :: Ce champ optionnel sert de titre pour la critique elle-même..
item type :: Ce champ optionnel "type" fournit le type d'item étant critiqué, l'un des suivants : product, business, event, person, place, website, url. S'il est omis, alors dans quelques cas, l'item peut être inféré. Si l'item est aussi un hCard, alors le type d'item est "business" ou "person" basé selon quel est le type de hCard représenté. Si l'item est aussi un événement hCalendar, alors le type d'item est un "event".
item info :: Ceci est un champ requis qui DOIT avoir au minimum le nom ("fn" - le texte formaté correpondant au nom) de l'item (un hReview ne décrit seulement qu'un item), DEVRAIT fournir au moins un URI ("url") pour l'item, et PEUT fournir au moins un URL vers une photo ou depiction ("photo") de l'item. Pour les items de type person ou business, l'info item (fn, url, photo) DOIT être encapsulée dans un hCard. Pour les items de types event, l'info item DEVRAIT être encapsulée dans un hCalendar "vevent". Les items à IDs uniques (par ex. ISBNs, UPCs) PEUVENT être réprésentés comme un URN ("url") pour l'item.
reviewer :: le champ optionnel spécifie la personne qui a écrite la critique. Si l'auteur de la critique est spécifié, un hCard représentant l'auteur de la critique DOIT être fourni. Pour les critiques anonymes, utilisez "anonymous" (sans guillemets) pour le nom propre de la critique.
Si aucun "reviewer" n'est trouvé dans le hReview, les parseurs devraient regarder à l'extérieur du hReview, dans le contexte de la page, pour le "reviewer". S'il n'y a pas de "reviewer" à l'extérieur, alors les parseurs devraient utiliser l'auteur défini par le "containing document language", par ex. pour des documents (X)HTML, l'info de contact <address>
pour la page (qui est idéalement balisée aussi comme un hCard), pour Atom 1.0 le
<entry>
<author>
si présent et si non
<feed>
<author>
, pour RSS le <author>
dans l'élément <item>
.
dtreviewed:: Ce champ optionnel quand il est présent DOIT fournir un "date time" absolu ISO8601 du moment où la critique a été écrite ou autrement publiée. Ce champ DEVRAIT utiliser UTC, mais PEUT utiliser la syntaxe du fuseau horaire. Si dtreviewed est absent de hReview, alors regardez en dehors de hReview, dans le contexte environnant. Si le contexte est une entrée hAtom, utilisez son datetime "published" (ou "updated" si celui-ci manque) du fil. Autrement utilisez l'information date de création (ou date modifiée si celle-ci manque) selon la langue du document conteneur (par ex. "published"/"updated" de la même manière pour les fils Atom), puis le protocole (par ex. HTTP Last-Modified, ou "file system last modified datetime") comme dtreviewed.
rating:: The rating is a fixed point integer (one decimal point of precision) from 1.0 to 5.0 inclusive indicating a rating for the item, higher indicating a better rating by default. Optionally a different integral "worst" value and/or "best" value MAY be specified (e.g. 6 from 0-10). The "best" value may be numerically smaller than the "worst" value.
description:: This optional field contains the full text representing the written opinion of the reviewer. The field MAY include valid XHTML markup (e.g. paragraphs). User agents SHOULD preserve any markup. Multiple descriptions or section descriptions (e.g. pros and cons, plusses and minusses) SHOULD be included in the description field.
tags:: Tags are represented using a list of keywords or phrases (using the rel-tag-fr microformat for each individual keyword or phrase tag) that the reviewer associates with the item. The reviewer MAY optionally provide a tag-specific rating inside each rel-tag-fr, e.g. ambience:5. Tag-specific ratings by default use the same range as an overall rating for the item if present, and MAY also have a custom worst...best range specified. Authors MAY also invert this structure for the same semantic if it is more convenient for their markup, that is, place the rel-tag inside a rating to indicate a rated tag. Note: rated tags should ideally use a tag space that explains what the ratings for that tag mean. E.g. Food:18/30 should link to a tags space for Food that explains what an 18 out of 30 means for the Food tag.
permalink:: This optional field is a URL for the hReview. In addition to using the <a href>
tag for this field, the attribute rel="self bookmark"
MUST be used to indicate that the hyperlink is a permalink for the review itself. If the hyperlink already contains a rel
attribute, then the values self
and bookmark
MUST be included among the space-separated set of values in the attribute. Indexers MAY treat the permalink of a review as a unique ID in order to identify and collate the same review from multiple sources (such as indexing a page multiple times). The permalink MAY also be used to indicate or imply the origin of the review. Authors MAY use the classname of "permalink" on the element representing the permalink, but are not required to do so.
The following field names have been reused from the hCard and hCalendar microformats: version, summary, fn, url, email, photo, description, categories
. In addition, items and reviewers described by hCards MAY contain any hCard field. The rel value "self" has been reused from the Atom 1.0 specification.
license:: This optional field links to the license under which the contents of the hReview itself is licensed, using the rel-license-fr microformat.
Plus d'Equivalents Sémantiques
For some properties there is a more semantic equivalent, and therefore they get special treatment, e.g.:
- For any "url", use
<a class="url" href="...">...</a>
inside the element with the class name 'hreview' in hReview. - Similarly, any "email", use
<a class="email" href="mailto:...">...</a>
- And for "photo", use
<img class="photo" src="..." alt="Photo of ..." />
- Ratings are often presented either as a set of images or characters, e.g. "***". For these, the
<abbr>
element is particularly useful, as such characters are an abbreviation for the precise rating, e.g.<abbr class="rating" title="3">***</abbr>
. This is further explored in the next section.
Langue
- To explicitly convey the natural language that an hReview is written in, use the standard (X)HTML 'lang' attribute on the element with class="hreview", e.g.
<div class="hreview" lang="en"> ... </div>
If portions of an hReview (e.g. the item name) are in a different language, use the 'lang' attribute on those portions. - hReview processors which need to handle the language of reviews MUST process the standard (X)HTML 'lang' attribute as specified.
Lisible par Human vs. Machine
If an <abbr>
element is used for a property, then its 'title
' attribute is used for the value of the property, instead of the contents of the element, which can then be used to provide a user-friendly alternate presentation of the value.
Similarly, if an <img />
element is used for one or more properties, it MUST be treated as follows:
- For the "photo" property and any other property that takes a URL as its value, the
src="..."
attribute provides the property value. - For other properties, the
<img />
element's 'alt
' attribute is the value of the property.
Includes Objet
hReview 0.3 includes support for the object include-pattern.
Often a single page lists an item, and then several reviews for that item. In order to avoid having to repeat the item info for each review of the item, the first review should be marked up as an hReview, with a unique "id" attribute on the item info, and then following reviews should use the object include-pattern to include the item info from the first review.
Notes
This section is informative.
- By marking up a review with the hReview microformat, the expectation is communicated that the review MAY be indexed. This has no impact on the copyright of the review itself which the publisher may explicitly specify using rel-license as specified above.
- The enumerated list of item types is under development and may be extended.
- Each type may have custom hReview fields that follow the common set.
- Additional details about a particular item should be specified with the rest of the item's info at the URL provided for the item.
- Most rating systems use the range 1.0 to 5.0, and most of those represent the rating as a number (and possibly half) of stars. Sites may use whatever graphic they wish to represent the rating.
Exemples
Here are a few examples of reviews from current web sites, and how they could be easily enhanced to support the hReview structured review microformat.

Critiques Restaurant
Here is an example of a simple online restaurant review:
<div> <span>5 stars out of 5 stars</span> <h4>Crepes on Cole is awesome</h4> <span>Reviewer: <span>Tantek</span> - April 18, 2005</span> <blockquote><p> Crepes on Cole is one of the best little creperies in San Francisco. Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes for parties large and small. Window seating makes for excellent people watching to/from the N-Judah which stops right outside. I've had many fun social gatherings here, as well as gotten plenty of work done thanks to neighborhood WiFi. </p></blockquote> <p>Visit date: <span>April 2005</span></p> <p>Food eaten: <span>Florentine crepe</span></p> </div>
Adding hReview to this review is quite simple:
<div class="hreview"> <span><span class="rating">5</span> out of 5 stars</span> <h4 class="summary">Crepes on Cole is awesome</h4> <span class="reviewer vcard">Reviewer: <span class="fn">Tantek</span> - <abbr class="dtreviewed" title="20050418T2300-0700">April 18, 2005</abbr></span> <div class="description item vcard"><p> <span class="fn org">Crepes on Cole</span> is one of the best little creperies in <span class="adr"><span class="locality">San Francisco</span></span>. Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes for parties large and small. Window seating makes for excellent people watching to/from the N-Judah which stops right outside. I've had many fun social gatherings here, as well as gotten plenty of work done thanks to neighborhood WiFi. </p></div> <p>Visit date: <span>April 2005</span></p> <p>Food eaten: <span>Florentine crepe</span></p> </div>
Note that some of the properties of this sample review are not captured by hReview (visit date, food eaten). This is deliberate per the scope of keeping hReview minimal and simple.
This sample hReview could be rendered like this:
5 stars out of 5 stars
Crepes on Cole is awesome
Reviewer: Tantek - April 18, 2005
Crepes on Cole is one of the best little creperies in San Francisco. Excellent food and service. Plenty of tables in a variety of sizes for parties large and small. Window seating makes for excellent people watching to/from the N-Judah which stops right outside. I've had many fun social gatherings here, as well as gotten plenty of work done thanks to neighborhood wifi.
Visit date: April 2005
Food eaten: Florentine crepe
Critique Restaurant Multidimensionnnelle
Some restaurant reviews indicate ratings for different aspects of the restaurant. Such details are represented in hReview using tagged ratings. In addition, note the inline tags inside the description of this review.
Here is one such review in text format:
Cafe Borrone 1010 El Camino Real, Menlo Park, CA 94025, +1-650-327-0830; cafeborrone.com Food: 18/30; Ambience: 19/30; Service: 15/30; Price: $$... This cafe is a welcoming oasis on the Peninsula. It even has a fountain outside which cloaks the nearby sounds of El Camino traffic. Next door to a superb indy bookstore, Cafe Borrone is an ideal spot to grab a coffee or a snack to accompany a newly purchased book or imported periodical. Soups and sandwich specials rotate daily. The corn chowder with croutons and big chunks of cheese goes especially well with a freshly toasted mini-baguette. Evenings are often crowded and may require sharing a table with a perfect stranger. Espresso afficionados will appreciate the Illy coffee. Noise levels can vary from peaceful in the late mornings to nearly overwhelming on jazz band nights.

Here is an example of a product review:
<div> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000089CJI/"> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000089CJI.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" alt="Album cover photo: The Postal Service: Give Up." /> The Postal Service: Give Up</a> <blockquote><p> "The people thought they were just being rewarded for treating others as they like to be treated, for obeying stop signs and curing diseases, for mailing letters with the address of the sender...

Adding hReview to this review is also quite simple, but in this case requires a few more elements for the rating and reviewer which are required by hReview:
<div class="hreview"> <a class="item url" href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000089CJI/"> <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000089CJI.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" alt="Album cover photo: The Postal Service: Give Up.

The Postal Service: Give Up
"The people thought they were just being rewarded for treating others as they like to be treated, for obeying stop signs and curing diseases, for mailing letters with the address of the sender... Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in..."

Changes from v0.2
The following changes have been made in hReview v0.3 over hReview v0.2:
Normative changes:
- MUST (instead of SHOULD) use hCard for the item description of a business or person
- "reviewer" changes
- Made reviewer *optional* per feedback from Ryan King and Mark Nottingham
- If reviewer is absent from the hReview, then look outside the hReview, in the context of the page, for the reviewer. If there is no "reviewer" outside either, then use the author information according to the containing document language (e.g.
<address>
for (X)HTML pages) as the reviewer. - MUST (instead of SHOULD) use hCard to represent reviewer information
- "dtreviewed" changes
- Made dtreviewed *optional* per feedback from Ryan King and Mark Nottingham
- If dtreviewed is absent from the hReview, then look outside the hReview, in the surrounding context. If the context is an hAtom entry, use its "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) datetime as the dtreviewed, if not present on the entry, use the "published" (or "updated" if that is missing) of the feed. Otherwise use the information according to the containing document language (e.g. "published"/"updated" similarly for Atom feeds), then protocol (e.g. HTTP Last-Modified, or file system last modified datetime).
- SHOULD use hCalendar to represent an item of 'type' 'event'
- Added one decimal digit of precision to ratings' numerical values based on publisher experience.
- Use the "value" construct from hCard (as it is used in "tel" properties for example) to more explicitly markup the rating value when also providing (marking up) the best/worst of a rating.
- Added rel-license-fr to indicate the license of the hReview as a whole.
- Permit tags inside ratings to denote rated tags, the same as ratings inside tags per suggestion from Eran Globen.
- Add include-pattern support to allow multiple reviews for the same item to not repeat the item info.
Informative changes (several, but in particular):
- Note that scalar/rated tags would ideally use a tag space that explain the ratings for that tag. E.g. to explain what Food:18/30 means.
- Updated examples accordingly.
