#
ChiefRA
I would like to implement microformats into an real estate website
#
ChiefRA
in the correct way I mean, as now the website has some sort of microformats which are incorrect
#
ChiefRA
and I would like to know if there are any references about websitea that allready had implemented microformats.
#
ChiefRA
to take a look at their implementation
#
adactio
Are you talking about hCards?
#
ChiefRA
yes.
#
ChiefRA
there are any other microformats elements implemented specially for real estate properties?
#
adactio
Nothing specific for real estate properties, no. They are addresses like any other.
#
adactio
hListing is for classified ads in general: real estate definitely falls into that category.
#
ChiefRA
yes, for sure.
#
ChiefRA
I can use hCards for the real estate agents,
#
ChiefRA
an hListings for the properties themselves.
#
adactio
Yes. Here are some examples of sites doing that: http://microformats.org/wiki/hlisting#Examples_in_the_Wild
#
ChiefRA
yup gor the realestate.com
#
ChiefRA
got*
#
ChiefRA
from the website.
#
ChiefRA
I'll have a look there, thank you.
#
ChiefRA
do you happen to know any good microformats code checker?
#
ChiefRA
to be sure I've implemented it correctly?

singpolyma
ChiefRA: Optimus has a validator mode for hCard at least
#
ChiefRA
singpolyma can you give me a link please?
#
ChiefRA
and do we have an hlisting validator also somewhere?
#
ChiefRA
:)
#
singpolyma
It claims support for hlisting as well it seems
#
ChiefRA
thanks, I'll have a look right now
#
ChiefRA
I don't see the hlistings
#
ChiefRA
on it.
#
ChiefRA
anyway, I'll RFM on microformats about it, and then, I'll get back with more questions :)
#
ChiefRA
thanks for your help
#
tobyink
my parser supports hListing. A little slow, but here's an example - http://srv.buzzword.org.uk/uf-to-xml.cgi?uri=http://www.realestate.com/AZ/Phoenix/homes-for-sale.aspx
#
ChiefRA
tobyink thanks, i'll try to change certain webpage on my website, and I'll let you know how it goes.
#
tobyink
going now, but will leave IRC client open.
#
ChiefRA
bbl folks, nice meeting you :)

richbradshaw
hi
#
richbradshaw
Is microdata replacing microformats in the long term? Should I be starting to use microdata instead in new sites?
#
singpolyma
richbradshaw: No, microdata is not replacing microformats
#
richbradshaw
It seems to fulfil a very similar role though, in perhaps a more extensible way
#
richbradshaw
I've always used μformats, since the beginning really, but recently have started paying more attention to μdata
#
richbradshaw
Particularly with Google supporting it
#
richbradshaw
(not that they don't support μformats)

singpolyma
richbradshaw: I'm not really sure what µdata is for, but it's not µformat compatible. I think of it as the same as RDFa: a different group trying to do a similar (though arguably also very different) thing
