For cover tracks you'd have something like:
<span class="contributor vcard">
<span class="role">Original Artist</span> -
<span class="fn org">Primal Scream</span>

Here is the best action I have seen using roles, It may be useful to the
discussion.
from http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard-examples-in-wild-reviewed
http://www.iowamilitaryveteransband.com/members/
their roles are the instruments that they play
Roles are *NOT* defined in hAudio as such other than..
"The role attribute SHOULD be used to specify the contributor's
responsibility related to the audio recording if hCard is utilized"
http://microformats.org/wiki/haudio#Contributor
the context comes from hcard
"Information regarding the role of the object"
http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-classes
the "object" in most cases the person.
whats good is, its user defined, we may be able to give sensible hints
to what you put in there but really it's up to the publisher the choice
is yours eg: "groupie", or "stage hand" could be fun!.
"original artist", "band", "group", "quartet" are valid roles I would
say
so are
"vocalist", "bassist", "drummer", "producer", "artist" for individuals
If we had a "hPunchup" microformat you could have a role of "looser" ;)
Ha! and a vevent for every punch. Never thought of marking up a boxing
match until now!
I AM worried that we should be using "title" instead of "role" in some
cases...
That depends if you look at a piece of music as having "jobs" associated
with it. Is a piece of music some work that people were employed to
create or only a creative endeavour?. It can be either, but as far as
hAudio is concerned I would say "role" is most appropriate. Thoughts?
Thanks
Martin McEvoy
Cheers,
Rob
