I think a named contact is needed; based on previous experience with large companies who use such techniques. (Idiotically, they don't e-mail the reply, but send a URL where you can read it on their website). Here's a similar site to IMDB you may also want to approach: http://jameshome.com/freebase/fmdb/ Thanks, but that appears to be password protected. -- Andy Mabbett ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

Hi Jason, Since the citation microformat is still very much underdevelopment, I'm redirecting your query to the microformats-new mailing list, where formats in progress are discussed. Please sign up on microformats-new. http://microformats.org/wiki/mailing-lists#microformats-new Thanks much!

Andy Mabbett (31 août 2007 - 23:18) : I'd like to do some advocacy work with the Internet Movie Database, but they don't advertise any useful contacts on their website. Does anyone have one? I'm not sure the initial owners are still working on it from Amazon. The first web version of the database went live on the servers at Cardiff University in Wales. There is a fun bit of e-mail dating back to those days between web interface author, Rob Hartill, and Col Needham, both impressed when the web interface got 100 accesses in a single day. Prior to the latest redesign, the IMDb website has been serving an average of 65 million accesses from over 3.5 million visitors every month. With the improvements and new features added in the redesign, this could well go higher. -- IMDb History http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?history Mon, 03 Sep 2007 02:06:06 GMT Then on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Hartill "He's currently a volunteer fire-fighter with the Country Fire Service and a hobby farmer." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_Needham "currently is the managing director of the Internet Movie Database." The access to the full database is available on IMDB Web site, and usable only with a very limited license. http://www.imdb.com/interfaces -- Karl Dubost - http://www.w3.org/People/karl/ W3C Conformance Manager, QA Activity Lead QA Weblog - http://www.w3.org/QA/ *** Be Strict To Be Cool *** ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
