Microformats are an increasingly common way to embed semantic information in a human-readable web page. By using classes to annotate the markup, you can call out information allowing a web browser or add-on to utilize it. For instance, using the hCard microformat, a human-readable address written in HTML can be downloaded and added into a user’s address book.

I’ve been offering restaurant addresses using microformats in UVFood.com, and more and more sites are providing support for them.

Now there’s a very nice summary of available microformat resources available. If you’re considering working with microformats I’m sure you’ll want to check it out.
