Appbistro Google Reader book-brainstorming Introduction Given analysis and research done on book-examples and book-formats, this page documents various thoughts and strawman proposals for a book microformat. Many of the class names proposes are suitable for other forms of extended prose, such as articles and longer notes. Table of Contents Background HTML is a general-purpose markup language used for electronic documents, mostly for onscreen reading. It has been shown possible to use HTML as a format for book publishing. The main motivation for developing a microformat for book is to encourage reuse of content for different media types. The scope of the term "book" has no clear limits when applied to texts made public on the Internet. Parts of a book The user interface of books is fairly standarized.

Center for Media Innovation and Research | University of Florida FluidDB Image: Jin Wicked One way to use Fluidinfo, among many, is as a universal engine for metadata. I’ll have to explain what I mean by that, especially seeing as some people got the impression from the earlier post on data vs metadata that we don’t think metadata is important, or that it doesn’t exist, or similar. I tried to make it clear in the post, and in responding to the comments that followed, that that’s not what was meant: In fact that’s one of the major initial goals of Fluidinfo – to be a metadata engine for everything. The question is: how can Fluidinfo be used as a universal metadata engine? Metadata can be loosely defined as data that’s about other data. The key word in the above paragraph is about.

In fact, it’s not so much a pet peeve as something that summons my rage to levels no mere listicle can, and especially when an online-only outlet does it. I’m writing, of course, about the profound inability of some web sites to actually do a hyperlink properly. What do you think? I’ve written about this again and again and again and again , and until outlets start writing links like they understand what the World Wide Web is for, I’ll keep on raging about it. Exhibit A: As you can tell from reading, this is a story about an app called Fleksy .
