Persondata
A comparison between Wiikipedia's persondata and the hCard microformat.
Welcome to anyone visiting this page from Wikipedia! Please read how-to-play before making any edits - this Wiki operates differently to Wikipedia.
Editor: Andy Mabbett
PERSONDATA | hCard HTML class names |
- | vcard required (outer wrapper; can not be on element as its children) |
NAME | fn required |
ALTERNATIVE NAMES | nickname |
SHORT DESCRIPTION | note |
DATE OF BIRTH | bday |
PLACE OF BIRTH | not in hCard |
DATE OF DEATH | not in hCard, but proposed as an extension |
PLACE OF DEATH | not in hCard |
Notes
"fn" can be sub-divided:
- n
- honorific-prefix
- given-name
- additional-name
- family-name
- honorific-suffix
hCard attributes not in Persondata, but in Wikipedia infoboxes
- category (tag)
- photo
- url
Notes
- Persondata could use the Wikipedia page URL for the hCard url property, or the URL given in an infobox.
- Data matching other hCard properties (adr, geo, org, etc.) may be found in Wikipedia infoboxes for organisations and venues.
Persondata attributes not in hCard
Persondata could use, for example:
PLACE OF BIRTH | birthplace |
DATE OF DEATH | dday or dod |
PLACE OF DEATH | deathplace |
Other properties
- Persondata is hidden metadata; hCard is for data published on the page.
- Persondata is for people; hCard can also be used for organisations and venues
