<h1>Exploratory Discussions</h1>
{{TOC-right}}
Per the microformats [[process]]: research and analysis of real-world [[examples]], existing formats, and brainstorming to motivate the microformat. Please check [[rejected-formats]] before making additions.

Sort each section alphabetically. Group similar efforts.

== completed ==
The following exploratory discussions resulted in a microformat.

* blog post [[blog-post-examples|examples]], [[blog-post-formats|blog post formats]], and [[blog-post-brainstorming|blog post brainstorming]] (yielded the [[hatom|hAtom]] draft)
* directory inclusion [[directory-inclusion-examples|directory inclusion examples]], [[directory-inclusion-formats|directory inclusion formats]]. (yielded the [[rel-directory]] microformat)
* location [[location-examples]], [[location-formats|location formats]]. (see also [[adr]], [[geo]], [[hcard|hCard]])
* resume [[resume-examples]], [[resume-formats|resume formats]], [[resume-brainstorming|resume brainstorming]] yielded the [[hresume|hResume]] draft.
* review [[review-examples|review examples]], and [[review-formats|review formats]] yielded the [[hreview|hReview]] draft

== solo pursuits ==
The following are primarily pursued by a single individual and thus have not generated widespread interest in the community yet. In general, solo pursuits are discouraged.

The goal of a format is to help human communication, the exchange of information between two people. Thus if only one community member is really interested in pursuing it (enough to work on it in the community), it's not important as a format. While a list of contributors or supporters helps demonstrate some broader interest, it is still insufficient if a format is only really being worked on in the community by a single individual.

* geo extensions ([[User:AndyMabbett|Andy Mabbett]])
** [[geo-elevation-examples]], [[geo-elevation-formats]] - extend geo for representing altitude
** [[geo-waypoint-examples]], [[geo-waypoint-formats]] - extend geo for representing routes and boundaries, using waypoints
** [[geo-extension-examples]], [[geo-extension-formats]], [[geo-extension-brainstorming]], [[geo-extension-strawman]] - extend geo for moons, other planets, etc.
* [[off|OFF]]
* [[hJoke]] a microformat used to delineate jokes/humor

== failed to follow process ==
All too often it seems people propose a new microformat without following the [[process]] (most often not even reading apparently), nor creating the proper research pages first (and doing the research), nor sometimes even reading the [[introduction]] and [[how-to-play]] pages. Such proposals are relegated to this section to make it clear that they are worse than mere solo pursuits, they are (most of the time) solo pursuits by people who haven't even read the [[process]] page!

* [[realestate-propertydetail]], [[realestate-propertydetail-examples]], [[realestate-propertydetail-formats]], [[realestate-propertydetail brainstorming]]
* show [[show-examples]], [[show-formats]], [[show-brainstorming|show brainstorming]]
* showroll [[showroll-examples]], [[showroll-formats]], [[showroll-brainstorming]]
* syllabus [[syllabus-examples]], [[syllabus-formats]], [[syllabus-brainstorming]]

=== did not read main page ===
Even worse, proposals by people who apparently didn't even bother to read the rest of the [[Main_Page]]!
These are proposals that failed to follow the process and were added by the author to the [[Main_Page]] where it explicitly says to follow the process (often right next to where they added the link to their brainstorm proposal).

<h1> Product Examples </h1>
{{TOC-right}}
This is an exploratory page to document product examples currently published around the web. Typically, the metadata associated with this content is stored in non-semantic markup and proprietary formats. The purpose of the studies on this page is to serve as background for the design of a simple distributed product microformat.

==== Clothes ====

Link to product rather than actual product immediately available for sale. Personally marked-up and used rel-product ideas to link to the shop.

* Image
** Thumbnail
* Product
** Type
** Title
* Properties
** Color
* Link
** Buy this Online (rel=product)

'''Mark-up:'''

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hproduct">
<img src="#" alt="polo shirt" class="product-thumb" />
<h3 class="product-type">Polo Shirt</h3>
<h4 class="product-title">Coxmoor</h4>
<p class="p-v"><span class="property">Color:</span> <span class="value">289 Rush</span></p>
<p><a href="poloshirt/coxmoor/" title="Buy This Online" rel="product">Buy This Online</a></p>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

==== CDs ====

Additionally the site has links to products on Amazon.

* Image
** Thumbnail
* Product
** Title
* Properties
** Artist
* Link
** Buy this Online (rel=product)
* Currency implementation

'''Mark-up:'''

<pre><nowiki>
<div class="hproduct">
<a href="#" rel="product">
<img src="assets/images/timeline/amazon/small-faces.gif" alt="Small Faces Album" class="product-thumb" />
</a>
<h3 class="product-title"><a href="#" rel="product">Ogdens' Nut Gone Flakes</a></h3>
<h4 class="p-v"><span class="property artist">Small Faces</span></h4>
<p class="product-buy"><a href="#" title="Buy this online" rel="product">Buy from Amazon</a></p>
<p class="money"><abbr class="currency" title="GBP">£</abbr><span class="amount">6.99</span></p>
</div>
</nowiki></pre>

The use of [[hproduct-brainstorming#Non-visible_property_names|Non-visible property names]] made it possible to have an invisible property of 'artist'. Having 'Artist: Small Faces' was not in the visual specification of the Ben Sherman site.
