ArtistServer Adds More Support for Microformats!
This weekend, I rolled out some updates to ArtistServer.com - expanding our support of Microformats, to include xfn and hcard. Below is an outline of all the Microformats ArtistServer currently supports.

Learn more about Microformats here: http://microformats.org
  • Microformat: xfn
    URL: http://gmpg.org/xfn/
    Where: xfn is now used on each artist and member's Friend page on ArtistServer.

    About: XFN (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become a rapidly growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a 'rel' attribute to their links.

  • Microformat: hcard
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard
    Where: At the bottom of each artist and member's homepage on ArtistServer.

    About: hCard is a simple, open, distributed format for representing people, companies, organizations, and places, using a 1:1 representation of the properties and values of the vCard standard (RFC2426 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt)) in semantic XHTML. hCard is one of several open microformat standards suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

  • Microformat: rel-license
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-license
    Where: Each song on the site carries a rel-license microformat on ArtistServer.

    About: Rel-License is a simple, open, format for indicating content licenses which is embedable in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

  • Microformat: rel-tag
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag
    Where: Everywhere you see tags being used, the rel-tag microformat is assigned to the link.

    About: By adding rel="tag" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an author-designated "tag" (or keyword/subject) for the current page. Note that a tag may just refer to a major portion of the current page (i.e. a blog post). e.g. by placing this link on a page.

Draft Formats: The following are draft formats which ArtistServer currently supports.
  • Microformat: geo
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/geo
    Where: Inside each hCard, ArtistServer outputs the artist or member's geocoordinates if they are known.

    About: geo is a simple format for marking up geographic latitude longitude information, suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. geo is a 1:1 representation of the "geo" property in the vCard standard (RFC2426 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt)) in XHTML, one of several open microformat standards.

  • Microformat: enclosure
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-enclosure
    Where: Each mp3 download link on the site carries an enclosure microformat on ArtistServer.

    About: RelEnclosure is a simple, open, format for indicating files to cache which is embeddable in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML.

  • Microformat: adr
    URL: http://microformats.org/wiki/adr
    Where: Inside each hCard, ArtistServer outputs the artist or member's City, State and Country.

    About: adr is a simple format for marking up address information, suitable for embedding in (X)HTML, Atom, RSS, and arbitrary XML. adr is a 1:1 representation of the adr property in the vCard standard (RFC2426 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2426.txt)) in XHTML, one of several open microformat standards. It is also a property of hCard.
