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 . "
";
	}

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
       o   "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.

       o   "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.

       o   "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:

       o   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.

       o   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.

       o   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.
