Adoptable Pet Records As They Should Be
Those who know me well know that I am more than a bit of a tech-geek. I worked my way up from software programmer to VP of Internet Technologies at Worthington Software, before the products and company were sold to Lominger, Limited. After that, I served as the Director of Internet Computing for Pentair, a large, multi-national holding company. Fundamentally, technology is in my blood and always will be.

I forgot to ask: Anyone out there care to look at the existing proposed XML standard for animal records, compare it to hCard standard, and make recommended changes?

Mike - excellent post!

Animal Microformat
Hi all,I built a site that scrapes close to 100 different adoption pages. It wasn't easy given how most of them represent the data differently. In my ideal world there would be a standard format to describe animal data on websites. Then people like me (and Google) could identify this data and index it.microformats are the way to go for this. There are already 2 billion pages with hCards that identify address…See More
