hCard Profile

Note: This is an experimental XMDP profile for the hCard specification. Another profile, http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns is in development an may obsolete this one.

Use of this profile licenses RDF data extracted by hcard2rdf.xsl from the 2006 vCard/RDF work.

class

HTML4 definition of the 'class' attribute. This meta data profile defines some 'class' attribute values (class names) and their meanings as suggested by a draft of "Hypertext Links in HTML". All values are defined according to the semantics defined in the hCard specification and thus in RFC 2426.
