There is an address design pattern[1]. it is taken from the hCard spec. So for location you could mark it up as:
<abbr class="geo location adr" title="34.34;-120.12"><span class="locality">Any Town</span>, <abbr class="region" title="Missouri">MO</abbr> <abbr class="country-name" title="United States of America">USA</abbr></abbr> With this example I have encoded both a LAT/LON geolocation[2] and an ADR inside location. This will degrade gracefully because hCalendar does not know about those other class names and will output: LOCATION:Any Town, MO, USA but other transforming applications can leverage the additional semantics provided in the GEO and ADR properties. in addition for CATEGORIES, you could use the Rel-Tag[3] -brian [1] - http://microformats.org/wiki/adr [2] - http://microformats.org/wiki/geo [3] - http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag On 4/19/06, Michael MD <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > does anyone have any ideas about good ways to specify cities and countries > in hcalendar listings? > > What would be the best way to do this? > > I see a lot of people just putting a city or state name in the location > field but it would be nice if there was a standard way to to this. > (there can be multiple cities with the same name around the world and > abbreviations for states may not be meaningful if the country is not > specified) > > ...also categories are a good idea too ...
