Microformats are supported quite well in Firefox these days thanks to the Operator extension, but the 70-80% of web users still using Internet Explorer might have been wondering what all the fuss is about. Now, thanks to MIX Online, they finally have a chance to find out. Oomph: A Microformats Toolkit was released yesterday and can now be downloaded along with full source code. There are various parts of the toolkit, some CSS stylesheets and authoring tools, but the main bit I'm interested in

Last Wednesday, the World Wide Web Consortium made RDFa a W3c Recommendation, setting a standard for the inclusion and parsing of rich semantic data in XHTML documents. At first glance, RDFa sounds a lot like Microformats. And really, they’re both used in much the same way. But RDFa is more abstract; it provides a syntax to be followed, but not the actual terms used. As explained in the W3C document RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing: Whereas microformats specify both a syntax for embeddi

Facebook Connect and OpenID Relationship Status: “It’s Complicated” Posted in: TechCrunch As some of you know, I am a strong advocate of an evolution from the “walled garden” model of social networking toward an open Social Web, characterized by interoperability and data portability.

Oomph: A Microformats Toolkit
irhetoric
8 min - 21 Oct 2008

With the momentum of Microformats burgeoning, the Mix Online team (http://www.visitmix.com) decided to build Oomph: A Microformat Toolkit. Our main goal with Oomph is to make Microformats more accessible for users, developers and designers. Oomph is an amalgamation of applications: an Internet Explorer Add-in built in C++ that finds Microformats on a page; a cross-browser HTML overlay built using JQuery that aggregates Microformats; a set of beautiful CSS styles for Microformats; and a Windows Live Writer plug-in written in WinForms for inserting hCards. And, the entire project is up on Codeplex (http://codeplex.com/oomph), ready for community contribution and extensibility.

The Role of Semantic Web in Web 2.0: Partner or Follower?

Unknown length - 30 Sep 2008

Currently, the web phenomenon that is driving the best developers and captivating the best entrepreneurs is Web 2.0. Web 2.0 encompasses some of today's most exciting web-based applications: mashups, blogs/wikis/feeds, interface remixes, and social networking/tagging systems. Although most Web 2.0 applications rely on an implicit, lightweight, shared semantics in order to deliver user value, by several metrics (number of startups funded, number of "hype" articles in the trade press, number of conferences), Web 2.0 technologies are significantly outdistancing semweb technologies in both implementation and mindshare. Hackers are staying up late building mashups with AJAX and REST and microformats, and only rarely including RDF and OWL. This panel will consider whether semantic web technology has a role in Web 2.0 applications, in at least the context of the following areas: 1. Web 2.0 and Semantics: What unique value can semantic web technologies supply to Web 2.0 application areas? How do semantic web technologies match up with the semantic demands of Web 2.0 applications? 2. Semantics and Web "Ecosystems": Web 2.0 applications often strive to build participatory ecosystems of content that is supplied and curated by their users. Can these users effectively create, maintain, map between, and use RDF/OWL content in a way that reinforces the ecosystem? 3. Semantic Web in Practice: Does semantic web technology enable the cost-effective creation of Web 2.0 applications that are simple, scalable, and compelling for a targeted user community? Can semantic web technology genuinely strengthen Web 2.0 applications, or will it just be a footnote to the Web 2.0 wave?
