Example [[hcard|hCards]].
== <nowiki>RFC 2426</nowiki> examples in hCard ==


== Authors ==
These are 1:1 hCard examples for each example in [[rfc-2426|RFC2426]].
* [http://tantek.com/log Tantek Çelik]
* Brian Suda
== Instructive Examples ==
 
=== New Types of Contact Info ===
 
Since vCard was designed, there have been numerous other services that provide individuals with addresses or other means of contact, e.g. instant messaging, voip, etc.
 
Does this mean that vCard (and hence hCard) must be extended to represent these?
 
Thanks to the flexibility of the URL property, the answer is no, no extensions are necessary.  Instead, we use the proper URL for the service which identifies the service (protocol, machine, and/or path), and place the individual's address inside that.
 
==== AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) ====
 
AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) ids can be represented using the <code>aim:</code> protocol.  Many  who publish their AIM ids do so with clickable URLs e.g.:
 
<pre><nowiki>
<a href="aim:goim?screenname=ShoppingBuddy">IM with the AIM ShoppingBuddy</a>
</nowiki></pre>
 
Thus for hCard, we will adopt this existing content publisher behavior, and simply capture it as another URL for the hCard:
 
<pre><nowiki>
<a class="url" href="aim:goim?screenname=ShoppingBuddy">IM with the AIM ShoppingBuddy</a>
</nowiki></pre>
 
==== Yahoo Messenger ====
 
Similarly, Yahoo Instant Messenger (YIM) ids can be represented using the <code>ymsgr:</code> protocol.  And similarly many publish their YIM ids as clickable URLs e.g.:
 
<pre><nowiki>
<a href="ymsgr:sendIM?SomeYahooFriend">IM with SomeYahooFriend</a>
</nowiki></pre>
 
Again, for hCard, we will adopt this existing content publisher behavior, and simply capture it as another URL for the hCard:
 
<pre><nowiki>
<a class="url" href="ymsgr:sendIM?SomeYahooFriend">IM with SomeYahooFriend</a>
</nowiki></pre>
 
==== Site profiles ====

== RFC 2426 examples in hCard ==
 
These are 1:1 hCard examples for each example in [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt RFC 2426].

== Test Cases ==
These are [[hcard|hCard]] examples which have been found to be particularly useful in finding bugs in hCard parsers (e.g. X2V).
=== Problem with BDAY Information ===
this example:
<pre>
    <!-- birthday -->
    <div class="bday">
    <dt>Birthday</dt>
    <dd>
        <abbr class="value" title="1985-10-27T00:00:00Z">October 27, 1985</abbr>
    </dd>
    </div>
</pre>
ought to produce "BDAY:1985-10-27T00:00:00Z" but it produces "BDAY:Birthday October 27\, 1985". interesting is that the apple addressbook is still willing to accept it in this way.
=== case-INSENSITIVITY of type values ===
* "home" vs. "Home"
this example works with X2V:
<pre>
    <div class="tel">
    <dt>Phone (<span class="type">home</span>)</dt>
    <dd><span class="value">+438123418</span></dd>
    </div>
</pre>
this does not, but should. but instead it becomes just TEL without a type in the vcard
<pre>
    <div class="tel">
    <dt>Phone (<span class="type">Home</span>)</dt>
    <dd><span class="value">+438123418</span></dd>
    </div>
</pre>
=== GEO parsing ===
The following hCard:
<pre><nowiki>
<div class="vcard">
  <span class="n">
    <a class="url" href="http://t37.net">
      <span class="given-name">Fréderic</span>
      <span class="family-name">de Villamil</span>
    </a>
  </span>
  <span class="nickname">neuro</span>
  <a class="email" href="mailto:neuroNOSPAM@t37.net">
    <span class="type">pref<span>erred</span> email</span>
  </a>
  <span class="org">Omatis</span>
  <span class="adr">
    <abbr class="type" title="dom">France</abbr>
    <span class="type">home</span> address
    <abbr class="type" title="postal">mail</abbr> and
    <abbr class="type" title="parcel">shipments</abbr>:
    <span class="street-address">12 rue Danton</span>
    <span class="locality">Le Kremlin-Bicetre</span>
    <span class="postal-code">94270</span>
    <span class="country-name">France</span>
  </span>
  <span class="geo">
    <abbr class="latitude" title="48.816667">N 48° 81.6667</abbr>
    <abbr class="longitude" title="2.366667">E 2° 36.6667</abbr>
  </span>
</div>
</nowiki>
</pre>
Should be translated into the following vCard:
<pre><nowiki>
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
URL:http://t37.net
ORG:Omatis;;
NICKNAME:neuro
N:de Villamil;Frederic;;Mr.;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET,PREF:neuroNOSPAM@t37.net
ADR;TYPE=HOME:;;12 rue danton;le Kremlin-Bicetre;;94270;France
GEO:48.816667;2.366667
END:VCARD
</nowiki></pre>
X2V currently (2005-12-18) fails to parse/export the GEO property at all.

This is a sub-page of hcard-examples

RFC 2426 examples in hCard

These are 1:1 hCard examples for each example in RFC2426.

Mark Pilgrim has made these hCard examples available as separate files:

This vCard fragment has one property whose value is another vCard, and could be represented as an hCard fragment with an embedded hCard, literally (with the unnecessary type=internet default omitted, and the implied n optimization):

<div class="agent vcard">
 <a class="email fn" href="mailto:jfriday@host.com">Joe Friday</a>

3.5.3 LOGO Type Definition

LOGO Example 1

LOGO;VALUE=uri:http://www.abc.com/pub/logos/abccorp.jpg

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<img class="logo" src="http://www.abc.com/pub/logos/abccorp.jpg" alt="my logo" />

this hCard fragment could be displayed as (note: I used a real URL for the image):

mf-lg-ora.gif


LOGO Example 2

3.5.4 AGENT Type Definition

AGENT Example 1

AGENT;VALUE=uri:
 CID:JQPUBLIC.part3.960129T083020.xyzMail@host3.com

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<a class="agent" href="CID:JQPUBLIC.part3.960129T083020.xyzMail@host3.com">JQPUBLIC</a>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

JQPUBLIC

AGENT Example 2

AGENT:BEGIN:VCARD\nFN:Susan Thomas\nTEL:+1-919-555-
 1234\nEMAIL\;INTERNET:sthomas@host.com\nEND:VCARD\n

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<span class="agent vcard">
 <a class="email fn" href="mailto:sthomas@host.com">Susan Thomas</a>,
 <span class="tel">+1-919-555-1234</span>
</span>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Susan Thomas, +1-919-555-1234

Note: the vCard in the AGENT property vCard fragment is actually invalid since it lacks an "N" property. However, the hCard version *is* valid, since the implied N rule applies to the given "fn" property.

3.5.5 ORG Type Definition

ORG:ABC\, Inc.;North American Division;Marketing

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="org">
 <span class="organization-name">ABC, Inc.</span>, 
 <span class="organization-unit">North American Division</span>,
 <span class="organization-unit">Marketing</span>,
</span>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

ABC, Inc., North American Division, Marketing

3.6.1 CATEGORIES Type Definition

CATEGORIES Example 1

CATEGORIES:TRAVEL AGENT

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="category">TRAVEL AGENT</span>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="category">INTERNET</span>, 
<span class="category">IETF</span>, 
<span class="category">INDUSTRY</span>, 
<span class="category">INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY</span>

this hCard fragment would be displayed as:

INTERNET, IETF, INDUSTRY, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

3.6.2 NOTE Type Definition

NOTE:This fax number is operational 0800 to 1715
 EST\, Mon-Fri.

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<p class="note">This fax number is operational 0800 to 1715 EST, Mon-Fri.</p>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

This fax number is operational 0800 to 1715 EST, Mon-Fri.

3.6.3 PRODID Type Definition

PRODID:-//ONLINE DIRECTORY//NONSGML Version 1//EN

Note, this vCard property actually doesn't make sense as a hCard property, since it really should be filled in by whatever code transforms the hCard into a vCard, e.g. Brian Suda's X2V.

3.6.4 REV Type Definition

REV Example 1

REV:1995-10-31T22:27:10Z

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<abbr class="rev" title="1995-10-31T22:27:10Z">Updated: 10/31 10:27p</abbr>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Updated: 10/31 10:27p

REV Example 2

REV:1997-11-15

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<abbr class="rev" title="1997-11-15">Updated: November 15</abbr>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Updated: November 15

3.6.5 SORT-STRING Type Definition

SORT-STRING Example 1

FN:Rene van der Harten
N:van der Harten;Rene;J.;Sir;R.D.O.N.
SORT-STRING:Harten

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="n">
 <span class="honorific-prefix">Sir</span>
 <span class="fn">
  <span class="given-name">Rene</span>
  <span class="family-name">
   van der <span class="sort-string">Harten</span>
  </span>
 </span>
 (<span class="additional-name">J.</span>),
 <span class="honorific-suffix">R.D.O.N.</span>
</span>

Note: The string "Harten" was NOT repeated in the hCard, even though it WAS repeated in the vCard (3 times! In N, FN, and SORT-STRING). The "SORT-STRING" property provides another good demonstration of how hCard enables better adherence to the DRY principle than vCard.

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Sir Rene van der Harten (J.), R.D.O.N.

SORT-STRING Example 2

FN:Robert Pau Shou Chang
N:Pau;Shou Chang;Robert
SORT-STRING:Pau

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="fn n">
 <span class="additional-name">Robert</span>
 <span class="family-name sort-string">Pau</span>
 <span class="given-name">Shou Chang</span>
</span>

Note: Not only was the string "Pau" was NOT repeated in the hCard (better DRY principle adherence again), even though it WAS repeated in the vCard, but in this case since the "family-name" and "sort-string" are the same, we were able to use element conservation and use only one element for both properties.

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Robert Pau Shou Chang

SORT-STRING Example 3

FN:Osamu Koura
N:Koura;Osamu
SORT-STRING:Koura

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="fn">
 Osamu <span class="sort-string">Koura</span>
</span>

Note: This example, in addition to illustrating better support for the DRY principle, also makes use of the Implied "N" Optimization.

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Osamu Koura

SORT-STRING Example 4

FN:Oscar del Pozo
N:del Pozo Triscon;Oscar
SORT-STRING:Pozo

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="n">
 <span class="fn">
  <span class="given-name">Oscar</span>
  del <span class="sort-string">Pozo</span>
 </span>
 <span class="family-name" style="display:none">
  del Pozo Triscon
 </span>
</span>

Note: This example unfortunately could not completely adhere to the DRY principle due to the "FN" using a *substring* of the family-name, and in addition thus had to hide the extra "family-name" string value using CSS display:none, which in general should be avoided. Suggestion welcome for improvements on this hCard fragement.

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Oscar del Pozo

SORT-STRING Example 5

FN:Christine d'Aboville
N:d'Aboville;Christine
SORT-STRING:Aboville

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment:

<span class="fn">
 Christine d'<span class="sort-string">Aboville</span>
</span>

Note: This example re-demonstrates the same hCard advantages/efficiencies demonstrated in example 3 above.

this hCard fragment could be displayed as:

Christine d'Aboville

3.6.6 SOUND Type Definition

SOUND Example 1

SOUND;TYPE=BASIC;VALUE=uri:CID:JOHNQPUBLIC.part8.
 19960229T080000.xyzMail@host1.com

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<object class="sound" type="audio/basic"
 data="CID:JOHNQPUBLIC.part8.19960229T080000.xyzMail@host1.com">
pronounciation of "JOHN Q PUBLIC"
</object>

this hCard fragment would probably be displayed as

pronounciation of "JOHN Q PUBLIC"

unless your browser supports the MIME type "audio/basic" (defined in RFC2046 section 4.3) and has some way of retrieving "CID:" urls.

SOUND Example 2

SOUND;TYPE=BASIC;ENCODING=b:MIICajCCAdOgAwIBAgICBEUwDQYJKoZIhvcN
 AQEEBQAwdzELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxLDAqBgNVBAoTI05ldHNjYXBlIENvbW11bm

data="data:audio/basic;base64,MIICajCCAdOgAwIBAgICBEUwDQYJKoZIhvcN
 AQEEBQAwdzELMAkGA1UEBhMCVVMxLDAqBgNVBAoTI05ldHNjYXBlIENvbW11bm
 ljYXRpb25zIENvcnBvcmF0aW9uMRwwGgYDVQQLExNJbmZvcm1hdGlvbiBTeXN0
 ...the remainder of "B" encoded binary data...">
pronounciation
</object>

no display equivalent given, since data: URL from original example is incomplete.

3.6.7 UID Type Definition

UID:19950401-080045-40000F192713-0052

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

Unique id: 
 <span class="uid">19950401-080045-40000F192713-0052</span>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as

Unique id:19950401-080045-40000F192713-0052

Note: in practice I don't think I've seen globally unique IDs for "contact info" records published on the web, but perhaps I am not considering enough examples.


3.6.8 URL Type Definition

URL:http://www.swbyps.restaurant.french/~chezchic.html

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<a class="url" href="http://www.swbyps.restaurant.french/~chezchic.html">Chez Chic</a>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as

Chez Chic


3.7.1 CLASS Type Definition

CLASS Example 1

CLASS:PUBLIC

this vCard fragment as an hCard fragment

<span class="class">PUBLIC</span>

this hCard fragment could be displayed as

PUBLIC

CLASS Example 2

CLASS:PRIVATE
