Persondata

A comparison between hCard and Wiikipedia's persondata.

Welcome to anyone visiting this page from Wikipedia! Please read how-to-play before making any edits - this Wiki operates differently to Wikipedia.

Editor: Andy Mabbett

Shared attributes

PERSONDATA hCard
HTML class names
- vcard required (outer wrapper; can not be on element as its children)
NAME fn required
ALTERNATIVE NAMES nickname
SHORT DESCRIPTION note
DATE OF BIRTH bday
PLACE OF BIRTH not in hCard
DATE OF DEATH not in hCard, but proposed as an extension
PLACE OF DEATH not in hCard

Notes

"fn" can be sub-divided:

  • n
    • honorific-prefix
    • given-name
    • additional-name
    • family-name
    • honorific-suffix

hCard attributes not in Persondata, but in Wikipedia infoboxes

  • category (tag)
  • photo
  • url

Notes

  • Persondata could use the Wikipedia page URL for the hCard url property, or the URL given in an infobox.
  • Data matching other hCard properties (adr, geo, org, etc.) may be found in Wikipedia infoboxes for organisations and venues.

Persondata attributes not in hCard

Persondata could use, for example:

PLACE OF BIRTH birthplace
DATE OF DEATH dday or dod
PLACE OF DEATH deathplace

Other properties

  • Persondata is hidden metadata; hCard is for data published on the page.
  • Persondata is for people; hCard can also be used for organisations and venues

The hCard specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. These thoughts, issues, and questions are kept in separate pages.
