GWG I have to see what I'm weighing in on

@aburone ↩️ Microformats where so good for addresses, contact info, and the like. Too bad they haven't got a wider usage (twitter.com/_/status/1542175810236424192)

[tantek] a map element is not the same as address semantics 🙄

#
[KevinMarks] If you look at a good map API like leaflet, it's a lot of semantics, but it is not a geocoder/ reverse geocoder. That would be a different kind of thing
#
[tantek] yes

@steveintransit ↩️ I think the Semantic Web was just too difficult to implement widely. Some efforts on microformats looked promising. I think some bits and pieces still exist, but there wasn't enough of a career path from library science to web design to pull enough information design developers (twitter.com/_/status/1542196810831241217)
#
[tantek] ^ not touching that one
#
gRegor haha

#
[chrisaldrich] wonders if they're subtweeting GWG? 😉
#
GWG How so?
#
GWG Why not come to HWC to explain?
#
[tantek] interesting presumption that library science was somehow applicable to the minimum design necessary for web semantics?
#
[tantek] I mean, because Dublin Core did such a great job 🙄
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG, I only know a handful of library scientists working in web design and development... I wish I could tonight, but it's back and forth with a ballerina while managing a separate meeting.
#
GWG [chrisaldrich]: Maybe another time
#
[chrisaldrich] It's eternally on my calendar waiting for conflicts to disappear. 🙂
