The purpose of this document is to define an open standard for representing OCR results. The goal is to reuse as much existing technology as possible, and to arrive at a representation that makes it easy to reuse OCR results.

This is a BETA implementation of an XSLT file to transform a citation microformat encoded XHTML file into the corresponding citation file. The DRAFT specification for citation encodings can be found at the microformats.org wiki.

hKit is a simple toolkit for extracting common microformats from a page. The page can be presented as a string or a URL, and the result is handed back as a standard PHP array structure. hKit uses SimpleXML for parsing, and therefore requires PHP5.

Microformats are a way to embed specific semantic data into the HTML that we use today. One of the first questions an XML guru might ask is "Why use HTML when XML lets you create the same semantics?" I won't go into all the reasons XML might be a better or worse choice for encoding data or why microformats have chosen to use HTML as their encoding base. This article will focus more on how to extract microformats data from the HTML, how the basic parsing rules work, and how they differ from XML.

Some misconceptions either appear often enough, or may have been held by people that are experts in the fields of markup, web standards etc., and thus it is useful to document and debunk them.

hMedia is a microformat for identifying semantic information for content embedded in media-related websites and blogs. It is often desired to link or embed varying types of media into a web page and associate meta-data with the media. For example, when li

hAudio is a simple, open, distributed format, suitable for embedding information about audio recordings in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. hAudio is one of several microformats open standards. This document is a mapping of hAudio to RDFa.

Cognition is a parser for both “upper case Semantic Web” (RDF, RDFa) and “lower case semantic web” (microformats) technologies. It includes modules for exporting parsed data in a variety of formats, including RDF, vCard, iCalendar, Atom and KML.
