= Current Review Formats =<br />
<br />
There have been several efforts to define data formats for posting "reviews" of products, services etc. on the Web.<br />
<br />
This page serves to document the current list of review schemas, formats, and efforts as background for the design of a simple reviews [[microformat]]. -[http://tantek.com/log/ Tantek]<br />

== Notes ==<br />
<br />
Notice that '''author''' appears several times in the lists below, and that it sometimes refers to the author of the review, and other times to the author of the book being reviewed. A parenthetical will be used to distinguish them now.<br />
<br />
== Previous Schemas and Formats ==<br />
=== Generic to any kind of review ===<br />
==== RVW ====<br />
* http://www.pmbrowser.info/rvw/0.2/<br />
** http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/000307.html <- this is a really old and out-of-date version<br />
** http://www.pmbrowser.info/wiki.pl?RVW<br />
* variants for embedding in Atom, RSS2, RSS1, RDF<br />
* apparent schema<br />
** author of review<br />
** content of review<br />
** creator of work<br />
*** example: book author, movie director<br />
** percentage score rating<br />
** multiple identifiers<br />
*** example: ISBN, ASIN, UPC, LOC<br />
** link to purchase<br />
* appears to be loosely connected with the term "!OpenReviews" (has also referred to other efforts) which itself appears to be yet another OpenBlahBlah buzzword with no substance behind it (AKA placeholder term).<br />
==== RDF Review Vocabulary ====<br />
* RDF Review Vocabulary: http://www.purl.org/stuff/rev<br />
** Deployed in [http://trust.mindswap.org/FilmTrust/ FilmTrust], see e.g. [http://trust.mindswap.org/cgi-bin/FilmTrust/foaf.cgi?user=thejrnf user profile]<br />
** Extended version used for StructuredBlogging/RDF transformation (e.g. see [http://incredibooks.com/index.php/2005/12/17/the-muffin-fiend/ sample review] there's a reference to [http://structuredblogging.org/subnode-to-rdf-interpreter.xsl subnode-to-rdf-interpreter.xsl] in the source).<br />
** Used in [http://www.ldodds.com/blog/archives/000126.html AllConsuming Reading Lists in RDF]<br />
** Used in [http://www.ldodds.com/blog/archives/000087.html FOAF-a-matic Mark 2]<br />
<br />
==== Simple-Review XML ====<br />
* Embeds XML in <script type="application/x-subnode"><br />
* [http://structuredblogging.org/xmlns/simple-review.xsd XSD]<br />
* apparent schema<br />
** review-title<br />
** item<br />
*** name/title<br />
*** type<br />
*** URL<br />
*** image URL<br />
** rating (user visible, max, normalized to 0..1 value)<br />
** comments/description<br />
<br />
