Of course, with different address book tools, your mileage may vary ... I have also heard that Outlook does not support files with more than one vCard entry. I fear there is nothing we can do (other than change the tool or file a feature request with the tool vendor). Mac's Apple Address Book and KDE's Kontact have had no problems with importing many people from one file. I would like to learn about further experiences with other tools. Another issue currently is that the vCards do have a full name (the one used for display), but empty entries for first and last name (since we do not have those in the wiki). Some tools may prefer if we would leave the empty entries away completely. > > In any case, it looks like many people realize that moving towards > structured data should be on both RDF and non-RDF directions. Yes, certainly. RDF is a general purpose data format, while special purposes have more specific formats. Once you have semantics, you can easily use many syntactic forms as needed. > > So I want to raise a question regarding various other ways to express data > on SMW instance.

Microformats and RDFa usually want to be embedded into (X)HTML, while our current exports are all links to download files. Embedding would require some more (e.g. you could not use hCard µ-Format without having all the contact data being really present in the wiki page). > > Our Semantic Ready Validator tests for various kinds of structured data > including Microformats - it's be great if we can have check mark next to > Microformats on AIFB page: > http://www.semanticready.com/are_you_ready?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsemanticweb.org >%2Fwiki%2FAIFB Interesting tool.

Well, if it seems useful and feasible to you, then we can try to support that. We generally aim at having all formatting extensions as modular as possible. For example, iCalendar and vCard are just single files that create all the output, and which could be left away to get a smaller SMW distribution. More types of query formats can be added along this architecture easily (e.g. CSV, RDF or JSON). One would need to think about the process for getting microformats/RDFa into a wiki page, so that it can also be so modular.
