<entry-title>hReview-aggregate 0.2</entry-title>
{{DraftSpecification}}

[[hreview-aggregate|hReview-aggregate]] is a format for embedding review information (of products, services, businesses, etc). Whereas [[hreview|hReview]] is intended for an individual review, hReview-aggregate is meant for summary information about a collection of user or critic reviews about an item. hReview-aggregate is one of several [[microformats]] open standards suitable for embedding in HTML, XHTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

== Introduction ==

Many websites publish reviews using a variety of organization schemes. hReview-aggregate and the similar microformat [[hreview|hReview]] were designed to enable sharing of review information.

hReview, created in 2006, is well suited to mark up reviews done by individuals on their own websites or for editor's reviews for a new product or service. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing number of sites who aggregate user reviews, either by accepting reviews submitted to their website or by collecting those user reviews from across the web. In these cases, it is often valuable to share not just the individual reviews shown on the webpage, but the consensus opinion derived from those individual reviews.

hReview-aggregate was created to address this need. hReview-aggregate is a standard that can be used to share the number of reviews, average rating, and consensus opinion for a particular product or service. It is meant to complement hReview and reuses hReview properties wherever appropriate. Research and discussion that fed into the design of hReview-aggregate can be found on the [[aggregate-review-brainstorming|aggregate review brainstorming]] wiki page.

{{rfc-2119-intro}}

=== Scope ===

Collections of reviews consistently share several common aspects. Where possible hReview-aggregate has been based on this common subset.

=== Out of scope ===

Portions of reviews that are specific to particular kinds of items have been omitted from hReview-aggregate.

== Format ==

=== Schema ===

The hReview-aggregate schema consists of the following:

* hReview-aggregate ('''<code>hreview-aggregate</code>''')
** '''<code>item</code>''' info. required. '''<code>fn</code>''' ('''<code>url</code>''' || '''<code>photo</code>''' ) | '''[[hcard|hCard]]''' (for person or business) | '''[[hcalendar|hCalendar]]''' (for event) | '''[[hproduct|hProduct]]''' (for product)
** '''<code>rating</code>'''. required. fixed point integer [1.0-5.0], with optional alternate '''<code>worst</code>''' (default:1.0) and/or '''<code>best</code>''' (default:5.0), also fixed point integers, and explicit '''<code>average</code>'''.
** '''<code>count</code>'''. optional. non-negative integer.
** '''<code>votes</code>'''. optional. non-negative integer. Note that while <code>count</code> and <code>votes</code> are both marked optional, at least one of the two fields must be specified.
** '''<code>summary</code>'''. optional. text.

=== Property details ===

Details of the hReview-aggregate properties:

'''item''':: This required property {{must}} have at a minimum the name of the entity being reviewed (using the subproperty "fn"), or alternatively have an encapsulated microformat (i.e. [[hcard|hCard]] for a business or person, [[hproduct|hProduct]] for a product, or [[hcalendar|hCalendar]] for an event). If an encapsulated microformat is not used, a URI ("url") for the item and a photo or depiction ("photo") {{may}} also be provided. Non-URL unique item IDs (e.g. ISBNs, UPCs) {{may}} be represented as a URN ("url") for the item. Encapsulated microformats must be set on the item itself (e.g. class="item vcard"). However, when using item info subproperties ("fn", "url", "photo"), they must be nested inside the item element.

'''rating''':: The rating is a fixed point integer (one decimal point of precision) from 1.0 to 5.0 inclusive indicating the average rating for the item across all reviews, higher indicating a better rating by default. Optionally a different integral "worst" value and/or "best" value may be specified to indicate a different range (e.g. 6 from 0-10).

'''count''':: This property is used to specify the total number of reviews for the product or service.

'''votes''':: This property is used to specify the total number of users who have rated the product or service, contributing to the average rating. For some sites, the number of votes is equal to the number of reviews, so <code>count</code> may be used and this property omitted.

'''summary''':: This optional property can be the title for the review collection or a very short summary of the consensus opinion from the collection.

The <code>item</code>, <code>rating</code>, and <code>summary</code> properties are reused from [[hreview|hReview]].

== Examples ==

=== Basic example ===

Here is an example showing aggregate review information for a restaurant:

<pre><nowiki>
<div>
<h3>
<span>Mediterranean Wraps</span>
</h3>
<span>Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span>4.5 out of 5 based on 17 reviews</span>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Adding hReview-aggregate markup to this is straightforward:

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<h3 class="item">
<span class="fn">Mediterranean Wraps</span>
</h3>
<span class="summary">Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span><span class="rating">4.5</span> out of 5
based on <span class="count">17</span> reviews</span>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

=== Embedded microformat, 10-point rating scale ===

Often, there is more information available on a page about the item being reviewed than the title. Here is another example of a restaurant review, but with address information present.

<pre><nowiki>
<div>
<div>
<h3>Mediterranean Wraps</h3>
<span>433 S California Ave</span>
<span>Palo Alto, CA
<span>(650) 321-8189</span>
</div>
<span>Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span>9.2 out of 10 based on 17 reviews</span>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

And here it is with hReview-aggregate markup, along with an embedded [[hcard|hCard]] to describe the address and phone information for the restaurant:

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<div class="item vcard">
<h3 class="fn">Mediterranean Wraps</h3>
<span class="adr">
<span class="street-address">433 S California Ave</span>
<span><span class="locality">Palo Alto</span>, <span class="region">CA</span></span>
<span class="tel">(650) 321-8189</span>
</span>
</div>
<span class="summary">Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span class="rating"><span class="average">9.2</span> out of <span class="best">10</span>
based on <span class="count">17</span> reviews</span>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Note that the <code>item</code> and <code>vcard</code> are put next to each other in the same class attribute in order to show that the item being reviewed is described by the embedded hCard.

=== Count vs votes ===

In the examples so far, the <code>count</code> property has been used but not <code>votes</code>. <code>votes</code> is useful when users have rated an item without writing full corresponding reviews. Their vote contributed toward the average rating but not towards the number of reviews available.

Consider this example:

<pre><nowiki>
<div>
<h3>
<span>Mediterranean Wraps</span>
</h3>
<span>Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span>4.5 out of 5 based on 24 ratings.</span>
<span>5 user reviews:</span>
...
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

Here the example is again, with both <code>count</code> and <code>votes</code> specified where appropriate.

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hreview-aggregate">
<h3 class="item">
<span class="fn">Mediterranean Wraps</span>
</h3>
<span class="summary">Customers flock to this small restaurant for their
tasty falafel and shawerma wraps and welcoming staff.</span>
<span><span class="rating">4.5</span> out of 5
based on <span class="votes">24</span> ratings.</span>
<span><span class="count">5</span> user reviews:</span>
...
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

** Problems noted by [[User:Tantek|Tantek]] 01:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC) via heads-up from Michael Kaply.
*** The hReview is of a venue and thus must use a nested hCard item for the review per [[hreview#Property_details|hReview property details: item]]. There are a few problems with the current markup.
*** current code:<code><div id="topHotel" class="hreview vcard"></code> - this div should just have <code>class="hreview"</code>, the "vcard" class name should be on the element with the "item" class name.
*** There needs to be an element (like a div) inside the hReview but surrounding all the venue info that has <code>class="item vcard"</code>.
*** current code: <code><h5 class="timesPick item fn org"></code> - this h5 should just have <code>class="timesPick fn org"</code> with the "item" class name going on a surrounding element (as suggested above).
