Hello group, ISSUE 248 asks if mobile device browsers can make use of microformats, and I would said definitely yes. When I read about microformats, I hope we are also talking about adding semantic content to the markup (semantic annotation?), using technologies like RDFa[1], GRDDL[2] or even SKOS[3] i.e. At CTIC we have done research on this topic, and we have found several scenarios where semantic annotated content could be helpful for mobile web context. For example: * Semantic annotation for people, geo-position, etc. data could be useful for contextual searching, so browsers could show only the information that would be relevant for the user, or even mobile apps could extract information from the web (dates, telephone numbers, etc.). * Automatic form filling based in semantic annotation of form inputs. * Content transformation tools could be helped by semantic annotated content, making web browsing more contextual. Just some ideas to share.
