[uf-discuss] hCard markup question w.r.t. organizations

Fri Jun 20 13:42:00 PDT 2008

Basic idea is:
<div class="vcard">
 <div class="org">
 <div class="organization-unit fn">Molecular Biology Lab</div>
 <div class="organization-name">University of Cambridge</div>
 </div>
</div>
If this is also part of the lab's postal address, you can combine it 
nicely with the adr:
<div class="vcard">
 <div class="adr label">
 <div class="org">
 <div class="organization-unit extended-address fn">
 Molecular Biology Lab
 </div>
 <div class="organization-name extended-address">
 University of Cambridge
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="street-address">123 Some Street</div>
 <!-- etc -->
 </div>
</div>
The drafts for vCard 4.0 (hCard is based on vCard 3.0) include a 
property called "KIND" to indicate which type of thing the card 
provides contact information for. e.g. individual, org, group, etc. 
Cognition <http://buzzword.org.uk/cognition/> will automatically 
infer the kind of hCard by noticing that the "fn" and "organization- 
unit" properties are identical, so the kind must be "group".
