hMood/hPresence?

Hi,

Is there any plan/interest to work on a hMood or hPresence
microformat
that could describe information related to the mood or the
activity of a
person/group? Bloggers typically express their feelings over
the web, or
what they have been doing during the day, so it would be
interesting to
better formalize this information...

Thanks
Walter

How is mood information useful? I can think of some silly
examples,  
but I don't really see how knowing what someone's when they
wrote a  
particular blog entry would be useful, or what a tool could
do with it  
-- remember, microformats are about solving problems.

What *would* be useful would be some way to mark up where
you are  
writing a blog entry / news item, etc, from or about.
Perhaps hCal has  
the right semantics for this? ("on date X at time Y I
was in location  
Z").

I'm not sure if there's much existing semantic HTML for
this. My guess  
would be that currently people say "I'm writing from
MacWorld" and  
then link MacWorld to the event information. Simply
embedding an  
hCalendar item discussing the event probably isn't enough --
someone  
could simply be discussing the event.

Anyone else think this would be an interesting area for
further  
research of existing examples -- or even better, have done
research in  
this area already?

ADR and GEO already provide reusable markup for describing
locations.

http://microformats.
org/wiki/adr
http://microformats.
org/wiki/geo

Is there something you want to do that isn't possible with
these  
existing microformats?

Peace,
Scott

I'm not really even sure.

Going back and reading over my post, I have pretty much no
idea what I  
was trying to say ;)

It's been one of those weeks.

Hey,

I might be wading in a bit late on this one, but I'll throw
in one of
my favourites for "hMood" : tags!

Could a mood not be described accurately simply by using a
rel-tag?
<a href="http://www.wikip
edia.com/happy"
rel="tag">happy</a>?
Afterall, the mood and activity is simply added to give a
blog post,
for example, additional context and this is the purpose of
tagging.

As for an activity (if this is what you may be suggesting
by
presense), the same would apply (is currently <a
href="http://www.w
ikipedia.com/skydiving" rel="tag">sky
diving</a> and
<a href="http://www.wikip
edia.com/happy"
rel="tag">happy</a> about
it).

Noticed someone's already mentioned GEO for actual location
formatting, so I won't again.
