microformats

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

Microformats are ways to encode semantic knowledge into web pages. Special classes are used around elements, such as dates, personal details, etc. For example:
<span class="p-name">Alan Dix</span>
This means that a computer reading the page can interpret the marked elements, hence turning the human-readable web page into machine-readable data.
