</table>Tantekhttps://microformats.org/wiki/index.php?title=hcards-and-pages&diff=27276&oldid=prevTantek: drafted starting with material from representative-hcard2008-06-08T00:12:40Z<p>drafted starting with material from <a href="/wiki/representative-hcard" title="representative-hcard">representative-hcard</a></p>
<p><b>New page</b></p><div><h1>hCards and pages</h1><br />
<br />
Web pages often represent people, are written by people, owned by people, and/or have a point of contact (for maintenance or other issues).<br />
<br />
While these are often the same person, they can be (and sometimes are) different people, and thus it is useful to document these distinctions.<br />
<br />
== hCards for pages ==<br />
<br />
=== represent ===<br />
[[hCard]] is very often used to markup user profile pages. See [[hcard-supporting-user-profiles]] for many example user profiles, often on social networking sites, marked up with hCard.<br />
<br />
Such profile pages ''represent'' a person, and thus the use of hCard to markup that person is called a ''representative hCard''. See the [[representative hCard]] page for more details on how to markup such hCards differently from other hCards on the page, and how to find and parse representative hCards.<br />
<br />
=== contact ===<br />
The person a page represents is usually the person to contact for/about the page. As [[hcard-faq#Should_I_use_ADDRESS_for_hCards|documented in the hCard FAQ]], the contact for a page {{should}} be marked up with an <code>&lt;address&gt;</code> hCard.<br />
<br />
There are numerous cases of pages that represent one person but have a different contact, or perhaps no explicit contact at all.<br />
<br />
For example, Wikipedia has numerous biography pages which represent individuals, but obviously (given Wikipedia's editing/maintenance conventions) those individuals are not the contacts for their biography pages. The most obvious example of this are biographies of deceased individuals who clearly cannot be a contact for such pages, e.g. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan Carl Sagan].<br />
<br />
In such cases, only the ''contact'' for the page should be marked up with the <code>&lt;address&gt;</code> element, and certainly ''not'' the representative hCard (if any).<br />
<br />
If there is no contact for the page, then there should be no <code>&lt;address&gt;</code> element on the page (or perhaps an empty <code>&lt;address&gt;</code> element may be an acceptable way of explicitly indicating that there is no contact for the page).<br />
<br />
=== author ===<br />
Typically the person that a page represents is also the author of the page. Possible (theoretical until someone finds/cites real world) examples: biographies, e.g. a page that represents person A is authored by person B.<br />
* common misconception: ''"[http://microformats.org/discuss/mail/microformats-discuss/2007-July/010170.html using &lt;address&gt; works when the person is the principal author of the page]"''. This is misleading at best. It may "work", but <code>&lt;address&gt;</code> means <em>contact</em> for the page (as documented above), not necessarily the <em>author</em>. The two might coincidentally (even typically) be the same, but are not semantically equivalent.<br />
<br />
=== owner ===<br />
Often the person that a page represents is also the person that owns (meaning has primary control over or decision-making authority about) the page.<br />
<br />
Though clearly it is possible to have one person own a page (perhaps the manager of the website), and yet have another person be the contact for the page (perhaps a system administrator or webmaster).<br />
