<h1> Citation microformat efforts </h1>

This wiki page outlines the overall effort to develop a citation microformat. We are documenting current examples of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citation cites/citations] on the web today, their implicit/explicit schemas, and current cite/citation formats, with the intent of deriving a cite microformat from that research.

== Semantic XHTML Design Principles ==
{{semantic-xhtml-design-principles}}

== Example Citations ==
[[citation-examples|Citation Examples]] are citations found in the wild that could benefit from semantic mark-up. This is a growing list of examples from all sorts of places including W3C specifications, RFCs and others. These are the examples which will determine the schema for the citation microformat.

== Known Citation Formats ==
The [[citation-formats|Citation Formats Page]] will be a running tab of known formats for publishing citations.

Eventually, I would like to see a chart of how each value from the implicit schema determined by the [[citation-examples]] is represented in each format, and what formats have additional properties that do not map between them. (For example, Format1 calls 'author' 'author', in format2 'author' is called 'writer'. etc)

== Issues ==
The [[citation-issues]] page is intended to capture ongoing issues.

== To Do ==
* [[existing-classes|Using existing class names]] and creating new names, create property names for the profile
* Based on implicit schemas in [[citation-examples]], and terms from one or more [[citation-formats]], do some [[citation-brainstorming]] for a simple citation microformat.
* Create additional strawman proposals

== Modularity ==
My hope for this microformat is that it can be a sort of module that can be used in other microformats. Once this is developed and flushed out, citation references could easily be used for publications on a Resume/CV, therefore the citation microformat would be a module (subset) of all the possible Resume Values.

Other Microformats that could use the Citation Module
* [[hresume|hResume]]
* [[work-of-art]]

Other Microformats that the Citation Module will use
* [[hcard|hCard]] encodings for things like Author, Publisher (people and companies)
* [[hatom|hAtom]] encodings as a possible container, and author/date-time properties
* [[rel-tag]] encoding for keywords
* [[rel-license]] encoding for copyright
