[uf-discuss] Marking up properties (buildings) as hCard
In my day job I develop a property listings database that contains a large number of records of commercial property available to let/buy. We're undergoing a big rewrite and it's a good opportunity for me to inject some microformats into the equation. When looking at the details page for of a property, the following are present: * A description, headline, lots of info about availability, square-footage, price etc. * Contact details for the agent responsible (which can be an hCard) * The address of the property (ADR?) * (for some) The co-ordinates of the property (GEO?) The last two seem primed for grouping together into an hCard for the property itself, but I have the following issues: * Does marking up a property as an hCard make sense? * hCard requires either an FN or an ORG, from what I can tell. I'm not clear which of these is preferable for a property. Commercial properties are generally referred to by either the building name (i.e. Microformats House) or the number/street (10 Microformats St.). These are both usually also the first line of the address, do I just have span class=adrspan class=street-address org1 Madeup St./span/span ? Any guidance would be appreciated. -Ciaran McNulty ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

That's how I've approached it in the past if I don't have a proper name for the location. I'd lean toward using fn instead of org, but someone with a bit more know-how might have better insight than I.

I wasn't sure if I included an FN, isn't there a requirement for an N as well? -Ciaran McNulty ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

You can use adr as a stand-alone uF; then you won't need to worry about the fn/org. -- Andy Mabbett * Say NO! to compulsory ID Cards: http://www.no2id.net/ * Free Our Data: http://www.freeourdata.org.uk * Are you using Microformats, yet: http://microformats.org/ ? ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
