Tantek Çelik and Rohit Khare: The Progress and the Promise of Microformats

http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1526

'Microformats' are simple extensions to standard HTML tags that can allow software to add website-listed events to a personal datebook, aggregate content from different web pages into a comprehensive calendar, or let people "mash up" the content in new ways such as adding events to online maps or other web pages. The microformats movement was officially launched with the unveiling of the Microformats.org website one year ago at Supernova 2005. Since then, tens of millions of website entities have incorporated microformatting. At Supernova 2006, Knowledge@Wharton spoke with two of the leading evangelists for microformats -- Tantek Çelik, chief technical officer of Technorati, and Rohit Khare, director of CommerceNet Labs -- on how microformats have progressed over the past year and the issues the movement faces going forward.
