species-examples-regrouped
Revision as of 08:31, 24 October 2006 by AndyMabbett (talk | contribs) (→WildRye.info: heavier-font-weight)
This is a re-grouping of the examples on species-examples
- Note: the original name of the proposed microformat, "species", is likely to change, probably to "biota" or "taxon". The former has been retained here, to avoid having to make many repetitive and perhaps redundant edits

- Occurrences of common bird names are consistently bolded <b> and given a class of "bird". Occurrences of scientific names are consistently italisized <i> and given a class name of "sci". Common plant names are bolded and given a class name of "plant". In the last example, common insect names (in this case at the order rank) are tagged with <strong>. - Charles Roper

- The word "wolf" appears all over, a brief look only revealed "delist
wolves" as more resolution in some free text. Is this a good example of how species data is marked up on the web? BenWest 22:20, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT)

All common names are in strong elements, the species is in an italic element, with resolution as link text, which turns out to be a fairly consistent convention on this particular site.
- Comments
- Again, some part of the resolution is the link text to a resource presumably considered authoritative. Resembles tagging. This particular site also puts common names in a strong tag, with the species in an italic tag.
- No, it's not necessarily an authoritative resource; it's just a link to a site I consider useful for those seeking further information on this species. - Charles Roper
- The use of an italicized scientific name is a very common convention, particularly in printed media but also online. The use of strong names is also a common convention, particularly online, as it helps readers scan a page quickly for species they are interested in. Further examples of this convention can be found here:
- Sussex Ornithological Society
- RXWildlife weblog
- Ramblings of a Naturalist weblog. This site also has examples of italicizing scientific names.

- This site uses the common bold common name/italisized scientific name pattern. Of note is the last example which uses an abbreviated genus (A.) --Charles Roper 01:23, 24 Oct 2006 (PDT)
- "<em>" and "<strong>" should not be used (according to a lengthy debate on a web authoring forum some time ago), because text thus marked will be emphasised/ "shouted" verbally in an aural browser or text reader. Either <i>/ <b> should be used, or a style with italicised/ heavier-font-weight text, or both (the later happens on the West Midland Bird Club website). AndyMabbett 01:30, 24 Oct 2006 (PDT)
To do
TODO: remove, or at least coalesce free text examples. create a commonalities section. BenWest 22:20, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT) TODO: I've been working down the examples list, item by item to reorganize by publisher, like the other *-examples pages have done. So far, I've gone from the top of binominals to the top of the Plant section. It's a Saturday night and time to have some fun so.... If someone continues this work before I get a chance to continue, please note where you left off. BenWest 22:20, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT)
Alternative Grouping By Strategy
I'd like to regroup these examples... perhaps by publishing strategy instead of a list of what is being published. Should this be available as an alternate grouping section? In the mean time, a grouping by publisher would help analysis go smoother. BenWest 17:57, 21 Oct 2006 (PDT)
I looked at several examples. Several of them feel like tagging to me. Should we attempt to note what level or resolution is available in each example?
Tagging
The [wiki media bird example] is particularly interesting.
