UID
"uid" is an hCard property. See also hCard examples for canonical profile URLs.
This page documents an effort to define a microformat for identifiers. This effort came about from two angles:
- the need for a module that hCard and hCalendar could reference for defining the behavior of UID
- the need for marking up freeform identifiers that are found in web content
Per the microformats process
