Operator
Geo microformat, detected on the Wikipedia page for Great Barr.Developer(s) Mike Kaply Stable release 0.9.5.6 / July 31, 2010 Operating system Cross-platform Type Firefox extension Website Mike's Musings Operator is an extension for the Mozilla Firefox web browser.[1][2] It parses[2] and acts upon a number of microformats,[1][2][3] as well as validating them.[2]
Operator lets the user access microformats through a number of methods, all of which are optional: a toolbar, a toolbar button, a status bar icon, a location bar icon, or a sidebar.
It has native support for several microformats:
- adr (adr spec) (postal addresses)
- hCard (contact/ address information)[4]
- hCalendar (events)[4]
- Geo (geographic coordinates)
- rel-tag
and is extensible,[5] in that users can add new actions for the included microformats, or specify additional microformat recognition.
Operator was written by Mike Kaply of IBM.[6] It forms the basis for Firefox 3's microformats API,[5][7] allowing native support, but has no direct user interface, due to lack of consensus on the implementation in the GUI.[5]
