NAME

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hCard - the hCard microformat

SYNOPSIS

        use HTML::Microformats::DocumentContext;
        use HTML::Microformats::Format::hCard;

        my $context = HTML::Microformats::DocumentContext->new($dom, $uri);
        my @cards   = HTML::Microformats::Format::hCard->extract_all(
                          $dom->documentElement, $context);
        foreach my $card (@cards)
        {
          print $card->get_fn . "\n";
        }

DESCRIPTION

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hCard inherits from HTML::Microformats::Format. See the base class definition
       for a description of property getter/setter methods, constructors, etc.

   Additional Method
       •   "to_vcard"

           This method exports the hCard as a vCard 3.0. It requires RDF::vCard to work, and will throw an error
           at run-time if it's not available.

       •   "to_vcard4"

           This method exports the hCard as a vCard 3.0. It requires RDF::vCard to work, and will throw an error
           at run-time if it's not available.

       •   "to_vcard4_xml"

           This  method  exports  the  hCard as a vCard XML. It requires RDF::vCard and XML::LibXML to work, and
           will throw an error at run-time if it's not available.

MICROFORMAT

       HTML::Microformats::Format::hCard supports hCard as  described  at  <http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard>,
       with the following additions:

       •   vCard 4.0 terms

           This  module  includes  additional property terms taken from the latest vCard 4.0 drafts. For example
           the property 'impp' may be used to mark up instant messaging addresses for a contact.

           The vCard 4.0 property 'kind' is used to record the kind  of  contact  described  by  the  hCard  (an
           individual, an organisation, etc). In many cases this is automatically inferred.

       •   Embedded species microformat

           If  the  species  microformat  (see  HTML::Microformats::Format::species) is found embedded within an
           hCard, then this is taken to be the species of a contact.

       •   Embedded hMeasure

           If the hMeasure microformat (see HTML::Microformats::Format::hMeasure) is found  embedded  within  an
           hCard,  and  no  'item' property is provided, then the measurement is taken to pertain to the contact
           described by the hCard.

RDF OUTPUT

       Data is  returned  using  the  W3C's  vCard  vocabulary  (<http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#>)  with  some
       supplemental terms from Toby Inkster's vCard extensions vocabulary (<http://buzzword.org.uk/rdf/vcardx#>)
       and occasional other terms.

       After long deliberation on the "has-a/is-a issue", the author of this module decided that the holder of a
       vCard  and  the  vCard  itself  should be modelled as two separate resources, and this is how the data is
       returned. Some information about the holder of the vCard can  be  inferred  from  information  about  the
       vCard;  for instance, the vCard's fn property can be used to determin the holder's foaf:name. This module
       uses FOAF (<http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>) to represent information about the holder of the vCard.
