Mark Gibbons: /* The Problem */

= Plants Examples =
Proposing a microformat to describe a particular plant, classified by its latin name. Plants all have common attributes associated with them related to appearance, growing conditions, disease, pests, maintenance etc. Many websites publish information about plants, but as yet this information is not open to exchange and aggregation.

== The Problem ==
To collect information on the current status of plant related information on the web.

Here are a few possible applications:

* Collection of distributed plant information from the web into larger plant databases. There is a lot of information currently available on the web both in large plant databases and indivual's sites, but there is no way to efficiently build a reference material on top of this.
* Plant catalogs can be published by retailers and the information about what can be bought where, can be easily aggregated.
* Building up personal catalogs of plants, so I can have a customized view on my own plants that I grow, telling me more about them.

== Real-World Examples ==

=== [http://www.crocus.co.uk/findplant/ Crocus] ===
Crocus is an plant catalog containing listings of plants available for purchase online. Many nusuries and garden centers now offer online purchasing possibilities. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar sites currently online, both big and small. Other examples are:

* [http://www.stokeseeds.com/cgi-bin/StokesSeeds.storefront Stokes Seeds]
* [http://www.gardenexpress.com.au/ Garden Express]
* [https://www.fernview.com.au/orderform.php Fernview]
* [http://www.diggingdog.com/pages2/catalog.php Digging dog nursery]

=== [http://www.paghat.com/garden.html Paghat's Garden] ===

Paghat's garden is an individual's site, documenting the plants grown in one garden. It is a good example of a gardener sharing useful information via the website. Currently the amount of information shared on the internet by individual gardener's on there own site or via a blog is limited. Given the right tools and incentives, the sharing of information in this way will increase.

=== [http://www.davesgarden.com/ Dave's Garden] ===

== Existing Practices ==
* Botanical names are often used as the title. More on botanical names [http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantnaming.asp here].
* Common attributes are readily identifiable. Such as
** water requirements
** light requirements
** temperature requirements
** plant type (tree, shrub, perrenial)
** soil requirements
* Some of the above attributes have been standardized already such as [http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html temperature requirements], others vary more, but have common features.
* Plant appearance is often described as free text.
* Images are often associated with plants.

'''Please read [[how-to-play]] before making any edits.'''

'''Please read [[process]] before proposing any new microformats.'''

== Introduction ==

What are microformats? See the [http://microformats.org/about/ about page] for an overview, and the [[introduction]] page for more info. Recent [[press]] and [[presentations]] are also a good place for some background reading as well. Frequently asked questions are answered in the [[faq]]. Want something or want to contribute? Help with things [[to-do]].

One popular definition from our [http://microformats.org/discuss/ mailing list] is "simple conventions for embedding semantics in HTML to enable decentralized development." More precisely, microformats can be defined as:
:simple conventions
:for embedding semantic markup
::for a specific problem domain
:in human-readable (X)HTML/XML documents, Atom/RSS feeds, and "plain" XML
::that normalize existing content usage patterns
::using brief, descriptive class names
::often based on existing interoperable standards
:to enable decentralized development
::of resources, tools, and services

"Or do you just use your browser to browse? That's so 20th century." -- [http://diveintomark.org Mark Pilgrim]

== Design Patterns ==

Design patterns give microformat authors a vocabulary for expressing their ideas consistently with what has already been done. ''If you're tempted to try your hand at writing a microformat '''[[process|read this first]]'''!''

== Tools & Test Cases & Additional Research ==

The first place to look for examples, code, and test cases is in the pages for each individual microformat. There are only a few cross-cutting tools and services that need to process more than one microformat. This section is intended for editors, parsers, validators, test cases, and other information relevant across multiple microformats.

== shared work areas ==
* [[buttons]] {{NewMarker}}
* [[demo]] - a page with links for quickly demonstrating microformats working in practice.
* [[events]] {{NewMarker}}
* [[to-do]]
* [[marked-for-deletion]]

== microformats wiki in other languages ==

You may read and edit microformats articles in <del>many different</del> other languages

=== microformats wiki languages with over 2 articles ===

* [[Main_Page-fr|Français (French)]]
* [[Main_Page-jp|日本語 (Japanese)]] {{NewMarker}}

=== Start a microformats wiki in another language ===

Don't see the language you want? Help translate the microformats wiki into another language!

We're still figuring this out.

For now, see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Multilingual_coordination Wikipedia page on Multilingual coordination], and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/How_to_start_a_new_Wikipedia How to start a new Wikipedia] for some good general tips, advice, and community conventions.

You may want to start with the list of [[stable-pages]], which are pages that are relatively stable, and have only minimal/editorial changes, which makes them much easier to keep in sync with the English versions, by using the [[Special:Watchlist|my watchlist]] feature (use it to watch the pages you've translated for changes).

Page naming: for the translated version of a page, use the same name for the page, and simply add the RFC 3066 language identifier code as a dash suffix. E.g. for the French version, [[Main_Page]] becomes [[Main_Page-fr]], and [[how-to-play]] becomes [[how-to-play-fr]].
