Re: [uf-discuss] Microformats Process flowchart 0.1
Thanks Drew, I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts as to whether it is useful, and what needs changing/fixing Looks great, John. Very useful for visualising the process. I've approached the uf process in detail a couple of times. Once when working on the tagcloud stuff (and despite linking each step of the way to the process, still seem to have effed it up.) So, take two was for my bok, where we decided a chapter on the process was important for contextualizing, despite the significant majority of people interested in ufs being unlikely to ever develop a uf - the process is a key part of what makes something a microformat, and when I speak it is often question #1 - "how does something become a uf"? Actually, recently, for the workshop I am involved in at IA Summit, I felt it important to cover the process, and so revisited the process page. I've found each time it some work to really understand the process in detail (hence my original ^&*# up with tagclouds) and even with the flowchart, I am not sure I've got it 100% right :-/ I know it comes up quite a bit, particularly with those interested in proposing a microformat, where we typically refer them off to the process. I hope something visual like this can help a bit. But of course, it has to be right! thank again john drew. ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss

Re: [uf-discuss] Microformats Process flowchart 0.1
you could create it in dot format and post that on the wiki, its very easy to edit and there's a plugin for media wiki that will render it out. Would be great to be able to illustrate various structures on there, processes and object relational diagrams etc http://www.wickle.com/wikis/index.php/Graphviz_extension John Allsopp wrote: Hi all, as part of the workshop at IA Summit on structured data, where I am doing a session on ufs, I have put together a flowchart to introduce people to the all important process of developing microformats. [1] I've not uploaded it to the wiki yet as 1. it might not be at all appropriate 2. it probably needs a lot of work, and as such, may well confuse more than it helps - and as it is not really editable, we can't really use the wiki process to do that. There's also an omnigraffle version you can download [2] if you want to fix it up a bit (or just email me changes you think need making). Sorry that its in this format - I only have the standard version of graffle, so can't export as SVG - anyone who cares to do so, please feel free, and send it back. I've tried to capture the current narrative description at the wiki [3] in a formal flowchart kinda way (note, 20 years since comp sci, flow chart may be completely wrong) I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts as to whether it is useful, and what needs changing/fixing thanks in advance john [1] http://microformatique.com/process/process.html [2] http://microformatique.com/process/process.zip [3] http://microformats.org/wiki/process John Allsopp style master :: css editor :: http://westciv.com/style_master about me :: http://johnfallsopp.com Web Directions Conferences :: http://webdirections.org My Microformats book :: http://microformatique.com/book ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss ___ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
