<div><entry-title> Source Brainstorming </entry-title><br />
<br />
Per the microformats [[process]], this page is for brainstorming about ideas, proposals, constraints, requirements for a microformat for indicating the link relationship between a document (or site) and its source code.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><a href="https://github.com/adactio/html5forwebdesigners" rel="source">the source for this book</a></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><link href="https://github.com/adactio/html5forwebdesigners" rel="source" /></nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
== Use Cases ==<br />
<br />
When an author links to a project's (or document's) source code (e.g. on GitHub, Google Code, etc.) a rel value of "source" could be used to explicitly define that relationship.<br />
<br />
== Discussions ==<br />
<br />
=== <code>rel="code"</code> ===<br />
<br />
<code>source</code> could be better used to define a source where the information came from. When someone writes an article, which is based on informations somewhere else, <code>rel="source"</code> would be a more appropriate name.<br />
<br />
Better naming recommendations for the case of this rel-Attribute:<br />
<br />
<ol><br />
<li><code>code</code></li><br />
<li><code>sourcecode</code></li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
<br />
These examples demonstrate situations where an explicit rel value could be used to mark up an existing document (or project's) link to its source.<br />
