listing microformat brainstorming
This is brainstorming for a hlisting microformat per the process.
Revised Base Schema Elements (proposed)
- hListing (hlisting)
- listing action. optional. one or more tags, suggested set: sell | rent | trade | meet | announce | offer | wanted | event | service
- lister. optional. hCard | (fn || email || url || tel).
- dtlisted. optional. ISO8601 absolute date time.
- dtexpired. optional. ISO8601 absolute date time.
- price. optional. text. [should include a floating-point number with optional ISO currency codes] - see the currency proposal
- summary. optional. text.
- description. required. text with optional valid XHTML markup.
- item tags. optional. keywords or phrases describing the item being offered, using rel-tag
- permalink. optional.
- availability. optional. text.
- condition. optional. text. examples: 'new', 'used', 'refurbished'.
- shipping. optional. text. text describing shipping and fulfillment
Items removed
- version. optional. text.
- item info. optional. (fn || url || photo || geo || adr) | hCard (for person or business).
- Removal of
item
seems to be a mistake, as that is used to indicate the item itself being listed. E.g., a nestedhProduct
would be<p class='item hproduct'></p>
. Removal appears to leave no way to include what is being listed. --BenWard 17:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Items added
- Each of the following should cite the analysis made of real world examples that demonstrates the 80%+ use case need, otherwise, they should not be added. Tantek 17:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- availability. optional. text.
- condition. optional. text. examples: 'new', 'used', 'refurbished'.
- shipping. optional. text. text describing shipping and fulfillment
Items changed:
- listing action => optional. if omitted, action assumed to be sell
- lister => optional. if omitted, the buyer/seller is assumed to be the site where the microformat exists
- In that case, an algorithm should be provided for how to determine the hCard for the lister, if no explicit lister is given. Tantek 17:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
