"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

Related pages

The hCard specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. These thoughts, issues, and questions are kept in separate pages.
