[uf-discuss] item in hReviews

Sat Mar 4 09:31:58 PST 2006

At postgenomic.com (an aggregator/analysis engine for life science 
weblogs), an attempt to get people to add markup to their posts to 
identify reviews of papers currently looks like this: <http:// 
www.postgenomic.com/about_reviews.php>. The recommendation is to use 
either a) rev="review" on the outward link, or b) to enclose the 
review in <div class="hreview"> and add class="url" to the outgoing 
link. My question is that in the hReview draft specification, 'item' 
is required: would it be best to use <div class="hreview item 
description"> for the wrapper, or are 'item' and 'description' not 
really necessary in this context (where there's not always structure, 
such as citation metadata, in the review itself)?
