{{lowercase|title=hCard}}<br />
'''hCard''' is a [[microformat]] for publishing the contact details (which might be no more than the name) of people, companies, organizations, and places, in [[HTML|(X)HTML]], [[Atom (standard)|Atom]], [[RSS (file format)|RSS]], or arbitrary [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]].<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Sikos | first1 = Leslie | title = Web Standards: Mastering HTML5, CSS3, and XML | publisher = Apress | year = 2011 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=c4_wQQ1iajgC&dq | accessdate = 2013-05-10 | isbn = 978-1430240419}}</ref> The hCard microformat does this using a 1:1 representation of [[vCard]] (RFC 2426) properties and values, identified using HTML classes and [[Rel attribute|''rel'' attributes]].<br />
<br />
It allows parsing tools (for example other websites, or [[Firefox]]'s [[Operator (extension)|Operator extension]]) to extract the details, and display them, using some other websites or [[map]]ping tools, index or search them, or to load them into an address-book program.<br />
<br />
In May 2009, [[Google search|Google]] announced that they would be parsing the hCard, [[hReview]] and [[hProduct]] microformats, and using them to populate search-result pages.<ref name="Rich-Snippets">{{cite web|url=http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/05/introducing-rich-snippets.html|title=Introducing Rich Snippets|last=Goel|first=Kavi|first2=Ramanathan V.|last2=Guha|first3=Othar|last3=Hansson|date=2009-05-12|work=Google Webmaster Central Blog|publisher=Google|accessdate=2009-05-25}}</ref> In September 2010 [[Google search|Google]] announced their intention to surface hCard, [[hReview]] information in their local search results.<ref name="Rich-Snippets In Local">{{cite web|url=http://blumenthals.com/blog/2010/09/22/google-announces-full-support-for-microformats-in-local/|title=Google Announces Full Support for Microformats in Local|last=Blumenthal|first=Mike|date=2010-09-22|work=Understanding Google Maps|accessdate=2010-09-30}}</ref> In February 2011, [[Facebook]] began using hCard to mark up event venues.<ref name="Protalinski">{{cite web|url=http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-adds-hcalendar-and-hcard-microformats-to-events/266|title=Facebook adds hCalendar and hCard microformats to Events|last=Protalinski|first=Emil|date=2011-02-18|publisher=ZDNet|accessdate=24 March 2011}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Example==<br />
Consider the HTML:<br />
<source lang="xml"><br />
<ul><br />
<li>Joe Doe</li><br />
<li>Jo</li><br />
<li>The Example Company</li><br />
<li>604-555-1234</li><br />
<li><a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a></li><br />
</ul><br />
</source><br />
<br />
With microformat markup, that becomes:<br />
<br />
<source lang="xml"><br />
<link rel="profile" href="http://microformats.org/profile/hcard"><br />
...<br />
</head><br />
...<br />
<ul class="vcard"><br />
<li class="fn">Joe Doe</li><br />
<li class="nickname">Jo</li><br />
<li class="org">The Example Company</li><br />
<li class="tel">604-555-1234</li><br />
<li><a class="url" href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a></li><br />
</ul><br />
</source><br />
<br />
Here the properties ''fn'',<ref>no friendly name defined in the specification http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard#Property_List, but one might think of it as "formal name", "formatted name", or "family name"</ref> ''org'' (organization), ''tel'' (telephone number) and ''url'' ([[URL|web address]]) have been identified using specific class names; and the whole thing is wrapped in <code>class="vcard"</code> which indicates that the other classes form an hcard, and are not just coincidentally named. If the hCard is for an organization or venue, the ''fn'' and ''org'' classes are used on the same element, as in <code><nowiki><span class="fn org">Wikipedia</span></nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki><span class="fn org">Wembley Stadium</span></nowiki></code>. Other, optional, hCard classes also exist.<br />
<br />
It is now possible for software, for example browser plug-ins, to extract the information, and transfer it to other applications, such as an address book.<br />
<br />
==Geo and adr==<br />
The [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]] is a part of the hCard specification, and is often used to include the coordinates of a location within an hCard.<br />
<br />
The ''adr'' part of hCard can also be used as a stand-alone microformat.<br />
<br />
==Live example==<br />
<br />
Here are the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s contact details as of 2010-10-28, as a live hCard:<br />
<br />
<blockquote style="font-weight:bold"><br />
<div class="vcard"><br />
<div class="fn org">Wikimedia Foundation Inc.</div><br />
<div class="adr"><br />
<div class="street-address">149 New Montgomery Street, 3rd Floor</div><br />
<div> <span class="locality">San Francisco</span>, <abbr class="region" title="California">CA</abbr> <span class="postal-code">94105</span></div><br />
<div class="country-name">USA</div><br />
</div><br />
<div>Phone: <span class="tel">+1-415-839-6885</span></div><br />
<div>Email: <span class="email">info@wikimedia.org</span></div><br />
<div class="tel"><span class="type">Fax</span>: <span class="value">+1-415-882-0495</span></div><br />
</div><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
The mark-up (wrapped for clarity) used is:<br />
<source lang="xml"><br />
<div class="vcard"><br />
<div class="fn org">Wikimedia Foundation Inc.</div><br />
<div class="adr"><br />
<div class="street-address">149 New Montgomery Street, 3rd Floor</div><br />
<div> <span class="locality">San Francisco</span>, <abbr class="region" title="California">CA</abbr> <span class="postal-code">94105</span></div><br />
<div class="country-name">USA</div><br />
</div><br />
<div>Phone: <span class="tel">+1-415-839-6885</span></div><br />
<div>Email: <span class="email">info@wikimedia.org</span></div><br />
<div class="tel"><br />
<span class="type">Fax</span>:<br />
<span class="value">+1-415-882-0495</span><br />
</div><br />
</div><br />
</source><br />
<br />
Note that, in this example, the ''fn'' and ''org'' properties are combined on one element, indicating that this is the hCard for an organization, not a person.<br />
<br />
==Other attributes==<br />
Other commonly used hCard attributes include<br />
*<code>bday</code> - a person's birth date<br />
*<code>email</code><br />
*<code>honorific-prefix</code><br />
*<code>honorific-suffix </code><br />
*<code>label</code> - for [[granularity#Data granularity|non-granular]] addresses<br />
*<code>logo</code><br />
*<code>nickname</code><br />
*<code>note</code> - free text<br />
*<code>photo</code><br />
*<code>post-office-box</code><br />
