# I wonder if we could define a community set of standard "micro schemas" which represent various types of data in the best way that we as a community know how
microformats : html :: microschemas : apis ? ( twitter.com/_/status/1006360714754252800)
# ↩️ I think that's what RDF was aiming for, as well as the microformats like hAtom a while ago.
I think the more specific you get, the less useful standards become. We've been experimenting our way to the boundary a long time. ( twitter.com/_/status/1006368241202188288)

# ↩️ That is pretty much what http://microformats.org attempts - converging a schema based on empirical evidence, then representing that in HTML so that it parses to uniform JSON. See http://microformats.org/wiki/process ( twitter.com/_/status/1006481053442338817)

# ↩️ This feels a lot like what we tried to describe in http://microformats.org/wiki/process - and it is hard for people to grasp the idea of looking for evidence and documenting it rather than making structures up ( twitter.com/_/status/1006617175329779714)

# Standards are documentation, not legislation. They explain how to make your code do the same thing as mine. Sadly, we write them in an imperative voice, and don't explain how we chose them. @slightlylate has more to say: https://infrequently.org/2018/06/effective-standards-work-part-1-the-lay-of-the-land/ #Indieweb #microformats ( twitter.com/_/status/1006674190831742976)
