microformats2 & HTML5: The Next Evolutionary Step For Web Data
summary
Explains that about 70% of structured data found by WebDataCommons is microformats, describes a lightweight Microformats2 spec that uses prefixed class names and flat object properties to produce JSON APIs with existing parsers (Node, PHP, Ruby) and a test suite, shows HTML5 features that reduce markup pain — notably the microformats2 single-class cases, the HTML5 time element for variable granularity timestamps, and the value class pattern for machine/human separation, and reports browser and search engine adoption.
