RE: [uf-discuss] hProduct draft now available
Yes -- the category attribute was included to define product types. In most examples listed on the hproduct-examples page [1], these would appear in the breadcrumbs, similar to this example snippet: ul id=breadcrumb lia href=/home/index.jsp class=breadcrumbHome/a/li li class=categorya href=/category/index.jsp?categoryId=2568451Hardware/a/li li class=categorya href=/category/index.jsp?categoryId=2626209Fasteners/a/li li class=categorya href=/category/index.jsp?categoryId=2627479Screws/a/li li class=categorya href=/family/index.jsp?categoryId=2627507Drywall Screws/a/li /ul [1] http://microformats.org/wiki/hproduct-examples Thanks, Jay Jay Myers http://jay.beweep.com (twitter) @jaymyers (skype) jaymmyers -Original Message- From: microformats-discuss-boun...@microformats.org [mailto:microformats-discuss-boun...@microformats.org] On Behalf Of David Janes Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2009 12:25 PM To: Microformats Discuss Subject: Re: [uf-discuss] hProduct draft now available On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 3:55 PM, Myers, Jay jay.my...@bestbuy.com wrote: Microformateers, After several months of diligent work, I'm happy to announce the draft spec of the hProduct microformat, linked from the front page of the wiki.

RE: [uf-discuss] hProduct draft now available
Manu, Thanks for the insight on this. There was extensive research done offline for hproduct based on product type, more than the current examples page shows at the moment. I will update the wiki to reflect the additional examples.

Hi Jay, Glad to see that you have decided to take the lead on moving the hProduct uf forward :) I haven't been following the hProduct discussion that closely and this was really the first time I took a look at the draft. I'd like to draw your attention to a particular Microformat Process issue that you may or may not know about... As per the process, we have included appropriate wiki pages for issues, faqs and examples. The hProduct examples page[1], including all example pages that it links to[2][3], include around 11 example sites, with no mention to the number of sites that were analyzed. One of the first steps that should be completed before a Draft is proposed is extensive analysis of existing websites providing products. To put hProduct's 11 examples into perspective, hAudio had close to 84 examples for the online music store section alone. If you have the analysis data that led to the current version of hProduct, please put it on the wiki. We can't know if the vocabulary terms are a good choice unless we have the data to back up the draft. For example, here's the analysis of terms utilized in audio sites: http://microformats.org/wiki/audio-info-examples#Analysis_of_Music_Servi ces Is there an equivalent for hProduct?
