Introduction
There have been several efforts to define data formats for posting "reviews" of products, services etc. on the Web.
This page serves to document the current list of review schemas, formats, and efforts as background for the design of a simple reviews microformat. -Tantek
Notice that author appears several times in the list 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.

Previous Schemas and Formats
Generic to any kind of review
RVW
- http://www.pmbrowser.info/rvw/0.2/
- http://hublog.hubmed.org/archives/000307.html <- this is a really old and out-of-date version
- http://www.pmbrowser.info/wiki.pl?RVW
- variants for embedding in Atom, RSS2, RSS1, RDF
- apparent schema
- author of review
- content of review
- creator of work
- example: book author, movie director
- percentage score rating
- multiple identifiers
- example: ISBN, ASIN, UPC, LOC
- link to purchase
- 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).
RDF Review Vocabulary
- RDF Review Vocabulary: http://www.purl.org/stuff/rev
- Deployed in FilmTrust, see e.g. user profile
- Extended version used for StructuredBlogging/RDF transformation (e.g. see sample review there's a reference to subnode-to-rdf-interpreter.xsl in the source).
- Used in AllConsuming Reading Lists in RDF
- Used in FOAF-a-matic Mark 2
Simple-Review XML
- Embeds XML in <script type="application/x-subnode">
- XSD
- apparent schema
- review-title
- item

- type
- URL
- image URL

Thoughts on a Microformat
Thoughts towards a simple MicroFormat subset of earlier efforts, sufficient to express 80/20.
Common review fields
- item
- optional:type of item (business, Web page/site, product, event, person, place, file, text)
- name/title of item being reviewed (string | ["hCard"] if business or person)
- optional:URL (all additional information should be somewhere else, not in the review itself)
- optional:image (URL)
- reviewer (["hCard"]|name|email|URL)
- review publication/authoring date (ISO8601 datetime)
- rating 1 to 5 (default max = 5, default min = 1)
- optional:tags (keyword,rating)*
- optional:comments (string)
See hReview for the result and evolution of these thoughts on a microformat.
