What are we trying to do?
➲ Problem: Too much information on the Web on any one subject for a person or group to find, read and aggregate
➲ Solution: Use a Computer, duh!➲ Problem #2: Computers can’t
understand human language
![Page 3: Microformats Nate Davey & Ira Thompson. What are we trying to do? ➲ Problem: Too much information on the Web on any one subject for a person or group](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649d245503460f949fa8da/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A shared Language
➲ HTML is ubiquitous and easily human readable when displayed by computers
➲ But computers can only display HTML, not process it
➲ Therefore…

WE USE MICROFORMATS!!
➲ Microformats make it easy for you or anyone to share and reuse data in your webpages and content elsewhere
For example, to populate an address book, browse social relationships, share reviews, tag content.
➲ For Instance, Card Example.

Remember Semantic Web?
➲ Microformats are touted as an alternate way to enable the Semantic Web
➲ Not revolutionary, use info already out there Just organize and use smarter.
➲ Basically, just add tags that easily allow processing of web data.
