re: pingerati & eventful
- [17:29:48] <hober>
if you could send us the original URL instead of the x2v-ified URL, that would be awesome
- [17:30:03] <hober>
(our internal microformats parser is almost ready for use)
- [17:30:43] <tantek>
yo hober!
- [17:31:00] <tantek>
that's great to hear!
- [17:31:21] <tantek>
yes, you will potentially get higher fidelity data from the hCalendar rather than the iCalendar, since for some information, the transform has to "dumb it down" for iCalendar
- [17:31:31] <hober>
right, exactly
- [17:31:34] <tantek>
e.g. ahem, hCard embedded in the "location" :)
- [17:31:41] <hober>
exactly.
- [17:31:59] <hober>
I'm holding off on patching x2v to generate this vvenue stuff until the draft actually hits IETF-land
- [17:33:34] <tantek>
right. do you know when there might be a public draft that folks can discuss?
- [17:33:39] <tantek>
even a public preliminary draft?
- [17:34:03] <hober>
"next week" is what I'm hearing, but that's highly unofficial
- [17:34:09] <tantek>
i bet briansuda would be more than happy to parse hCards in the "location" field of events and turn them into VVENUEs
- [17:34:15] <hober>
indeed
- [17:34:18] <tantek>
assuming that didn't break current .ics consumers
- [17:34:23] <tantek>
which is a big assumption
- [17:34:37] <hober>
The VVENUE field names are closer to vCard than they were a few weeks ago
- [17:34:41] <tantek>
of course if it does break current .ics consumers, then VVENUE is kind of dead in the water
- [17:34:49] <hober>
I had a big argument in-office about that :)
- [17:34:52] <tantek>
that is good to hear
- [17:34:57] <tantek>
i support you on that all the way :)
- [17:35:08] <tantek>
let me know how i can help
- [17:35:08] <hober>
It shouldn't break .ics consumers, but it probably does in some cases
- [17:35:15] <hober>
will do

hober, do you have a link to any info about vvenue? yo have peaked my interest
- [18:04:25] <hober>
briansuda: I don't think there's any public link at the moment, but if you want to see what iCalendar+VVENUE looks like, pull up any of the iCalendar feeds on eventful.com.
- [18:04:40] <hober>
there is a draft spec, which will hopefully become public next week

- [18:29:37] <bewest>
I asked around and there seems to be some interest
- [18:29:42] <kingryan>
talk to KevinMarks

he's managing that

ok

ok

(when he gets online)

we won't be ready that quickly
- [18:30:18] <bewest>
hopefully we'll have a search in about a week
- [18:30:40] <bewest>
I'm trying to convince them to open it as a public webservice

think it's working

- [19:19:40] <briansuda>
kingryan, for which format? hCalendar? i have category support, but it doesn't use relTag, it uses class="category"
- [19:19:45] <kingryan>
hcard
- [19:19:58] <briansuda>
somewhere i proposed to pull from relTag, but it was nixed.
- [19:20:05] <kingryan>
well, I wanna talk about hcard first, then hcalendar
- [19:20:14] <kingryan>
really? you have a pointer to that?
- [19:20:36] <tantek>
briansuda, I'm surprised as well
- [19:20:59] <briansuda>
i know it was on the list, so let me find it.
- [19:20:59] <tantek>
personally I prefer to markup hCard categories with *both* class name of "category" and rel="tag" links
- [19:21:19] <kingryan>
have we defined what rel-tag's mean in an hCard or hCalendadr?
- [19:21:26] <tantek>
yes
- [19:21:29] <kingryan>
can the be considered categories?

they mean category :D

briansuda, tantek: I think we need to specify that you can use tags for categories
- [20:22:21] <kingryan>
I can't seem to find anything of the sort on the wiki
- [20:22:30] <kingryan>
plus, I'd like to write some test cases
- [20:22:44] <briansuda>
i had brought that up back in November, proposing just that.
- [20:23:03] <briansuda>
i think it is semantically equivalent, we just need to know how to represent them
- [20:23:07] <tantek>
kingryan, you're right
- [20:23:11] <tantek>
ok i reviewed the thread
- [20:23:14] <kingryan>
well, to be fair, your question was really about your implementation, briansuda
- [20:23:20] <briansuda>
as well as rel="directory"
- [20:23:21] <kingryan>
not about the format
- [20:23:47] <tantek>
looks like pretty much everyone except Chris Messina agreed that categories are tags
- [20:23:55] <tantek>
most people also agreed that tags are categories
- [20:24:11] <tantek>
either way it seems reasonable

[[to-do]] http://microformats.org/wiki?title=to-do&diff=0&oldid=6583 * RyanKing * (-93) tests moved
- [20:24:58] <tantek>
one distinction in parsing
- [20:26:21] <tantek>
if you have say <a rel="tag" href="http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard" class="category">hCard</a>, according to rel-tag, the tag is "hcard" (last segment of the URL), and according to hCard, the category is "hCard" (not difference capitalization respectively)
- [20:26:30] <briansuda>
it seems reasonable to me too, but what are we looking for class="category" AND rel="tag" and/or either? and then when rel="tag" what are we looking at, the human readable text or the tagspace/tag
- [20:26:52] <kingryan>
do we really want to have both?
- [20:27:02] <kingryan>
I thought we would get rid of the category class name
- [20:27:03] <kingryan>
?
- [20:27:08] <tantek>
good question
- [20:27:17] <tantek>
we could keep "category" class name but deprecate it
- [20:27:19] <briansuda>
well we started making complex rules for hanging class="category" on an UL or OL element
- [20:27:25] <briansuda>
we can't do that with TAGS
- [20:27:40] <tantek>
um, I think we ditched such complex rules
- [20:27:49] <briansuda>
and people will publish event data on other places besides blogs
- [20:27:56] <tantek>
brian I think you mean class="categories" (plural) was attempted on UL / OL
- [20:28:09] <tantek>
huh? this has nothing to do with blogs
- [20:28:36] <tantek>
briansuda, we had thought for a while to possibly use plural class names on a parent element, but that has been rejected

Enric is a media Software Developer and Videoblogger located at http://www.cirne.com
- [20:28:44] <tantek>
it turns out to not be useful enough to keep
- [20:29:00] <tantek>
and it is simpler to just specify directly on an element what it is for
- [20:29:06] <tantek>
rather than on its parent etc.
- [20:29:21] <briansuda>
i think X2V still supports that - we should clarify that on the wiki somewhere
- [20:29:32] <tantek>
BTW, Welcome Enric
- [20:29:40] <tantek>
X2V still supports what in particular?
- [20:29:46] <Enric>
Thanks Tantek ;)
- [20:30:10] <briansuda>
the parent node on OL & UL for plural items like nickname, category, and a few others

- [20:30:35] <tantek>
yikes
- [20:30:44] <tantek>

- [20:39:50] <kingryan>
so, for tags in hcard, shall we add a section explaining how tags are used as categories in hCard?
- [20:40:26] <briansuda>
well how do we plan to actually use tags?
- [20:40:40] <briansuda>
the human readable section or the tag from tagspace/<tag>
- [20:40:51] <kingryan>
same as always
- [20:41:34] * pnhChris wonders if <a rel="tag">something</a> is a valid tag
- [20:42:11] <briansuda>
and if we deprecate class="category" then you are back to people complaining the same way they did with hResume skills. we still use class="skills" so why not class="category" rel="tag"
- [20:42:24] <kingryan>
no, its not pnhChris
- [20:42:50] <briansuda>
because if we are now pulling ALL rel="tags" from inside a class="vevent | vcard" then we are back to the same issues of pulling all hrefs without the class="url"
- [20:43:16] <tantek>
briansuda, not quite
- [20:43:28] <tantek>
we still have scoping by the nearest microformat root class name
- [20:43:36] * jcgregorio (n=chatzill@66.83.191.30.nw.nuvox.net) has joined #microformats
- [20:43:49] <tantek>
for now we might as well keep class="category"
- [20:43:55] <tantek>
and permit rel-tag as well
- [20:43:57] <tantek>
so *either* works
- [20:45:33] <briansuda>
if class="category" and rel="tag" we look one place, with just class="category" we look another, i can handle that
- [20:45:53] <briansuda>
the whole scoping by nearest root class name, i have issues with
- [20:46:05] <kingryan>
what issues?
- [20:46:11] <briansuda>
that means that every microformat parse then needs to be aware of ALL root class names.
- [20:46:18] <kingryan>
not it doesn't
- [20:46:24] <briansuda>
right now hCalendar should NOT need to know about hCard
- [20:47:12] <briansuda>
well then define 'nearest', if you only know about one root class
- [20:47:38] <tantek>
briansuda, I disagree
- [20:47:45] <kingryan>
tags are sloppy in that you don't have to know precisely the scope, but they can still work
- [20:47:52] <tantek>
we're on a path to encouraging folks to publish hCalendar location as hCard
- [20:48:09] <tantek>
and that is hopefully such a common case that any decent hCalendar parser should handle it
- [20:48:36] <tantek>
kingryan is also right about the sloppiness of tags
- [20:48:55] <tantek>
even without precise scoping, specific examples do tend to make sense across root boundaries

esp, see http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-brainstorming#geo_improvements for some current thoughts on this
- [21:54:16] <e_s_p>
I guess the best I can do is something like <a href="mappingsvc?lat=...&long=..."><abbr ...></a>
- [21:54:32] <e_s_p>
just put the abbrs inside the a element
- [21:54:46] <tantek>
take a look at both the above URL and at Adactio's Austin page
- [21:54:48] <hober>
ok, so hCalendar+(hCard'ed location) parsing question
- [21:55:27] <e_s_p>
What I really want to do is something like <a href="">Name of place</a>
- [21:55:33] <hober>
say you have <div class="location vcard"> ... <div class="adr">...</div> ... </div>
- [21:55:40] <hober>
with several of the adr bits and pieces filled out
- [21:55:59] <tantek>
esp, then use an hCard instead of geo
- [21:56:03] <hober>
Now suppose your hCalendar parser doesn't know anything about hCard
- [21:56:06] <tantek>
since hCard is for *named* places

like restaurants etc.

e.g. HTML

then don't bother with geo for your audience

same as class="skill" AND rel="tag"

- [22:10:37] * dbaron (n=dbaron@gw.office.mozilla.org) has joined #microformats

the problem goes back to the situation where there is an @href with in a class="vcard" then ALL of those are pulled in a URL, when that is NOT the case.
- [22:12:22] <mfbot>
[[hcard]] http://microformats.org/wiki?title=hcard&diff=0&oldid=6587 * RyanKing * (+199) added a section about using tags for categories
- [22:12:35] <tantek>
briansuda, same thing with class="value"
- [22:12:41] <tantek>
it is just another place to look for the value
- [22:13:17] <tantek>
unioning the set of class="category" elements and set of rel-tags is not any conceptually different than unioning the set of class="note" or class="value" elements
- [22:14:02] <briansuda>
sure there is. class value is a child of note, there is no child when we are dealing with relTag
- [22:16:38] <mfbot>

- [22:17:41] <tantek>
brian, you missed my point
- [22:17:59] <tantek>
"note" requires than any number of class="note" elements are all appended for the NOTE property in vCard
- [22:18:13] <tantek>
similarly with any number of class="value" elements inside an element like "tel" etc.

- [22:18:50] <briansuda>
i was unaware that we are concatenating multiple values
- [22:19:13] <briansuda>
we talked about taking first instances when only one was property could be allowed in vCard
- [22:19:33] <kingryan>
multiple category properties in hCard become one CATEGORIES property in vCard, no?
- [22:19:56] <briansuda>
because that was a pluralize to singular issue
- [22:20:04] <kingryan>
yes, but CATEGORIES takes multiple values, so we singularized the name and use multiple instances of it
- [22:20:42] <briansuda>
right, but NOTE was singular to start with.
- [22:21:01] <briansuda>
same as FN, if there are two of those we ONLY take the first... now we talk about concating them?
- [22:21:15] <kingryan>
right, but there was apparently a decision made to allow multiple note's in hcard
- [22:21:23] <briansuda>
do you have a reference?
- [22:21:31] <kingryan>
no, no, we're not going to concatenate FN
- [22:21:40] <briansuda>
that one slipped me by.
- [22:21:52] <kingryan>
its just that multiple category instances become one CATEGORIES in vCard
- [22:22:00] <kingryan>
*apparently*
- [22:22:08] <kingryan>
I'm going by what tantek is saying
- [22:23:43] <tantek>
briansuda, we talked about concatenating multiple notes long ago, like 1.5 years ago
- [22:23:54] <tantek>
so it may have been something that was overlooked
- [22:24:11] <tantek>
this was due to the nature of how the "note" property worked
- [22:24:14] <kingryan>
I can't seem to find any documentation of that on the wiki
- [22:24:14] <tantek>
and its semantics

1.5 years ago, that might be why i don't remember!
- [22:25:38] <Enric>
I have a question on hAtom...
- [22:25:41] <briansuda>
kingryan, we should make a note of this note idea on the wiki and make a test case for it...
- [22:25:50] <kingryan>
certainly
- [22:26:03] <factoryjoe>
Enric: you just stepped into the middle of a heated debate on "notes"
- [22:26:17] <Enric>
Ahhh...should I come back later?
- [22:26:37] <briansuda>
OK, so now that we have gotten that issue settled, how does that related to your original thought (tantek: unioning the set of class="category" elements and set of rel-tags is not any conceptually different than unioning the set of class="note" or class="value" elements)
- [22:26:38] * tantek can't find it in hcard or hcard-parsing
- [22:26:42] <kingryan>
actually, we're talking about categories, but close enough factoryjoe
- [22:26:51] <kingryan>
and this isn't "heated"
- [22:26:59] <tantek>
it's just vigorous ;)
- [22:27:10] <kingryan>
I'd prefer "lively"
- [22:27:11] <Enric>
Well, I should look more into hAtom and do some shopping...so I'll see if I still have the question later..
- [22:27:12] <tantek>
(as opposed to rigorous ;) )
- [22:27:28] <tantek>
certainly "lively" is better than "snidely"
- [22:27:29] <kingryan>
well, if we were rigorous, we'd have documented this already
- [22:27:38] <factoryjoe>
talk about semantics... jeez
- [22:27:53] <tantek>
it's that 3:30pm punchiness

that's what I thought...ok, thanks.
- [22:28:42] * briansuda considers it 5:30 quitin' time
- [22:28:43] <tantek>
briansuda, merging multiple elements into one property value is the overall common theme
- [22:29:01] <tantek>
since categories / rel-tags have no order
- [22:29:11] <briansuda>
ok, i'm with you so far
- [22:29:14] <kingryan>
briansuda, tantek: I can write up some note and category test cases if someone wants to document the note thing on the wiki (I've already documented the tags-as-categories thing)
- [22:29:18] <tantek>
you can union them by parsing one first then the other, or at the same time etc.
- [22:29:37] * tantek is scratching is head to figure out where he might have written down the "note" thing
- [22:29:48] <briansuda>
i would agree, except now we have promoted ANY relTag that happens to be "nearby" into the microformat
- [22:30:07] * tantek has bandwidth issues - unable to write everything down as fast as it pops into his head
- [22:30:12] <kingryan>
not *nearby*, *contained*
- [22:30:18] <tantek>
right kingryan
- [22:30:25] <briansuda>
even contained...
- [22:30:41] <kingryan>
but, if you look at what I wrote on the wiki... I said we require class="category"
- [22:30:53] <kingryan>
which was what I thought we'd compromised/settled on
- [22:32:08] <briansuda>
if you have an hCard inside an hCalendar (as location) and have a series of "categories" relevant to that location, (eg Food, pizza, etc) and i mark those up with class="category", but maybe the blog post is also about a birthday, so i also add rel-tag of "birthday", now if we are talking about also pulling any relTag, then that organization now has a category of "birthday"
- [22:32:08] <tantek>
kingryan, yes, that is fine for now
- [22:32:35] <Enric>
anyhow, I would like to come back at some point and discuss a format & structure for audio/video/rich media types...I see this as orthogonal to hAtom not as one replacing the other.
- [22:32:57] <tantek>
briansuda, no, because that rel-tag of birthday would be outside the organization hCard
- [22:33:11] <kingryan>
enric: theres *tons* of documentation/research of this on the wiki, please read and add to it
- [22:33:15] <tantek>
Enric, what do you need more than rel-enclosure
- [22:33:18] <tantek>
?
- [22:33:29] <tantek>
check out http://microformats.org/wiki/media-info-examples to start with
- [22:33:54] <briansuda>
i don't we should tell people how to construct their HTML pages
- [22:35:06] <kingryan>
I'm not sure I understand your point, briansuda
- [22:35:08] <Enric>
What I'm looking at is a <DIV class="hVlog"> enclosure that allows easy identification and moving of a rich media enclosure and extension of it. There's several utiliities like podpresss defining their own <DIV class="podpress"...>, etc. And it makes sense to me for a standard.
- [22:35:50] <Enric>
Now I don't see how this replaces the hentry that would be the container above that.
- [22:36:16] <kingryan>
well, the first step towards this would be to document these existing practices, Enric
- [22:36:18] <briansuda>
tantek said "that rel-tag of birthday would be outside the organization hCard", we shouldn't tell people how to write their HTML so that it is OUTSIDE the hCard
- [22:36:26] <Enric>
and the <a href rel="enclosure" would be below the <DIV class="hVlog"
- [22:36:56] <Enric>
Sure, I have my own utility, podpress that I know of and I can look for more examples and document their usage.
- [22:37:01] <tantek>
Enric, please read media-info-examples as suggested
- [22:37:05] <kingryan>
so, you're saying that people should be able to put even tags inside of the location property, briansuda?
- [22:37:09] * cgriego (n=cgriego@out-02.hotels.com) Quit ()
- [22:37:19] <kingryan>
and have them apply to the event, not the location?
- [22:37:24] <Enric>
I will, Tantek, thanks.
- [22:37:38] <tantek>
briansuda, people don't put birthday tags inside an unrelated organization hCard - that's a specious example
- [22:37:49] <tantek>
people put tags where they are relevant
- [22:38:01] <tantek>
and yeah, if they put them inside a blog post they apply to the blog post
- [22:38:13] <tantek>
if they put them inside an hCalendar event they apply to the event
- [22:38:20] <kingryan>
why are we still discussing this? don't we already have a compromise?
- [22:38:23] <tantek>
if they put them inside an hCard contact they apply to the contact

- [22:39:29] <briansuda>
i would begin to agree except that an hCalendar parser does not know that they are "Inside" other microformated content, unless it is aware of EVERY microformat, which is impossible.
- [22:40:02] <briansuda>
i am happy to support rel-Tag WITH class="category", but rel-Tag alone i would be dubious of supporting
- [22:40:24] <tantek>
it's simple enough for hCalendar because it only really has to look for nested hCards
- [22:40:38] <tantek>
then start with that
- [22:40:47] <briansuda>
but what about hAtom, and other microformats....
- [22:40:51] <tantek>
and we'll gain some implementation / publishing experience and see how it works
- [22:41:07] <tantek>
brian, that line of reasoning is why we came up with the whole mfo discussion
- [22:41:20] <tantek>
http://microformats.org/wiki/mfo-examples
- [22:41:21] <briansuda>
i have never been apart of that...
- [22:41:31] <tantek>
it's been discussed on the mailing list I think
- [22:41:44] <tantek>
and also at the hAtom finalization f2f I think
- [22:41:48] <briansuda>
on a side note, tantek, you mentioned on the list that the w3c link should be the profile for hCard
- [22:41:53] <tantek>
anyway, the problem is not a new one
- [22:41:59] <tantek>
could be certainly
- [22:42:05] <briansuda>
i thought somewhere DanC didn't want that to become the defacto standard
- [22:42:09] <tantek>
just like anyone can host a DTD on their site and refer to it
- [22:42:25] <tantek>
I'm not too worried about it
- [22:42:51] <briansuda>
well, if X2V is going to start doing LINT mode, an official profile link would be nice
- [22:43:13] <briansuda>
especially since those are NOT machine parsable, they need to be a reliable resource
- [22:43:24] <kingryan>
official profile links would be nice, irregardless
- [22:43:30] <kingryan>
but they've been low priority
- [22:43:43] <briansuda>
http://suda.co.uk/foobar/hcard sure LOOKS like hCard profile, but it doesn't have to be...
- [22:44:31] <kingryan>
no one disagrees that profile URIs would be *very*useful

ok, i shouldn't have said XMDP is not parsable, but without alot of work, after parsing needs to be compared to a canonical hCard profile to see if it is, and if there is a canonical version, just use that!
- [23:35:30] <bewest>
briansuda: the link you posted earlier 404'd me
- [23:36:41] <briansuda>
yeah, it doesn't exists
- [23:39:51] <tantek>
brian, i think you may be trying to discern too much meaning from an XMDP
- [23:44:22] <tantek>
it comes down to a vocabulary definition, from a machine perspective
- [23:44:31] <briansuda>
i think the original question was about the w3c hcard profile, is that the one. Should we all be using that or will gmpg.org or microformats.org put one up... because for validators they need to have a source
- [23:44:56] <briansuda>
... sorry that middle sentance makes no sense...
- [23:45:10] <tantek>
validators tend to validate against whatever URL is specified in the document for the DTD (or in our case, the XMDP)
- [23:45:13] <briansuda>
should we all be using that link, or will there be an official one soon
- [23:45:27] <tantek>
how about this
- [23:45:38] <tantek>
if you feel you *need* an XMDP profile link, go ahead and use the W3C one
- [23:45:42] <tantek>
otherwise don't bother for now
- [23:45:50] <tantek>
the larger issue which has been on my plate far too long
- [23:46:16] <tantek>
is that we need to make it easy for people to just us a composite microformat XMDP which includes XMDPs for specific microformats
- [23:46:32] <tantek>
so that folks don't have to put a list of half dozen XMDP URLs into every document
- [23:46:45] <briansuda>
i know we talked about that.
- [23:47:04] <tantek>
more than that
- [23:47:10] <tantek>
i've got it half written
- [23:47:13] <tantek>
and it's on my to-do
- [23:47:23] <briansuda>
but if i make a new profile on my site and include all sorts of profiles aggrigated together
- [23:47:26] * tantek trying really hard to get it done before 6/20 ;)
- [23:47:44] <briansuda>
then my parsers need to pull that, parse it and get the canonical versions
- [23:48:13] <briansuda>
to actually see WHAT microformats are being used. Then it can determine if class="vcard" is a microformat or a css property
- [23:48:29] <tantek>
that's how DTD parsing works also BTW
- [23:48:46] <tantek>
a validator has to pull the DTD, then parse it, and potentially load external references to other DTDs etc.
- [23:48:55] <tantek>
no one ever said writing a validator was easy
- [23:49:31] <briansuda>
as long as we have a canonical source then that's OK. originally it seemed like i can copy the profile, put it on my site and use that without citing a canonical source
- [23:54:32] <kingryan>
briansuda, its the URI that consuming agents know about, not the contents of the resource
- [23:58:42] <briansuda>
kingryan, i would agree, but somewhere in the discussion it was said "just like anyone can host a DTD on their site and refer to it", now we have any URI we want and we need to go back to the source to find out what was meant
- [23:59:28] <briansuda>
and i THOUGHT that DanC didn't want the w3c link to be that source. So i was just checking since it was endorced on the mailing list and the one we should use
- [23:59:55] <kingryan>
you can use it
