While there are several types of microformats, Google currently only supports 6 major ones. Those are:


  • hcard – for marking up business card or profile information
  • hReview – for dealing with individual user reviews
  • hReview-aggregate – basically a summary of hReviews (think, overall or average rating)
  • hProduct – for marking up products, prices, and all things e-commerce
  • hCalendar – pretty self explanatory, dates and appointments
  • hRecipe – also pretty explanatory. Recipes and ingredients

A microformat (sometimes abbreviated μF) is a World Wide Web-based approach to semantic markup which uses HTML/XHTML tags supported for other purposes to convey additional metadata and other attributes in web pages and other contexts that support (X)HTML, such as RSS.
