Microformat
The species documentation at <http://microformats.org/wiki/species> is very sketchy. This module aims to
be roughly compatible with the implementation of species in the Operator extension for Firefox, and data
published by the BBC and Wikipedia. Here are some brief notes on how is has been impemented:
• The root class name is 'biota'.
• Important properties are 'vernacular' (alias 'common-name', 'cname' or 'fn'), 'binomial',
'trinomial', 'authority'.
• Also recognised are 'class', 'division', 'family', 'genus', 'kingdom', 'order', 'phylum', 'species'
and various other ranks.
• Because some of these property names are fairly generic, you can alternatively use them in a prefixed
form: 'taxo-class', 'taxo-division', etc.
• If an element with class 'biota' has no recognised properties within it, the entire contents of the
element are taken to be a binomial name. This allows for very simple markup:
<i class="biota">Homo sapiens</i>
• The meaning of some terminology differs when used by botanists and zoologists. You can add the class
'botany' or 'zoology' to the root element to clarify your usage. e.g.
<i class="biota zoology">Homo sapiens</i>
An example:
<span class="biota zoology">
<i class="binomial">
<span class="genus">Homo</span>
<span class="species">sapiens</span>
<span class="subspecies">sapiens</span>
</i>
(<span class="authority">Linnaeus, 1758</span>)
a.k.a. <span class="vernacular">Humans</span>
</span>
