Structure Blogging continue...

When I read various people's views about structured blogging then I came to know that Some people call Upper Case Semantics (use of XML) as Structured Blogging and Lower case Semantics (use of XHTML) as microformats . There are some views about other bloggers:
Stowe Boyd explains:
My bet is that Structured Blogging will fail, not because people wouldn't like some of the consequences -- such as an easy way to compare blog posts about concrete things like record reviews, and so on -- but because of the inherent, and wonderful messiness of the world of blogging. and more.
His Microformats v Structured Blogging: A Small War With Big Consequences is also a good explanation of his ideas.

Bob Wyman defines structure blogging as: I've been pleased to see that the relaunch of Structured Blogging has been almost universally well received. However, I'm very puzzled by a number of folk who seem to be trying to find some kind of competition between Structured Blogging and "microformats." The reality is that Structured Blogging is a thing you do and is independent of formats. On the other hand, "microformats" is, as it's name implies, simply one of many approachs to defining the under-the-covers formats that are used by people who are doing Structured Blogging. The two concepts are orthogonal. They don't compete. They can't compete. Verbs don't compete with nouns.

According to my point of view, as I am not much familiar with all these issues, I suggest to use both technologies (structure blogging as well as microformats) in the microcontent publishing so that we can use the benefits of both technologies. But before using structured blogging the unique tags (uniquely identified in www) must be there so that mess between them will not occur.

Its time of Structure Blogging

Structure Blogging..
This is the most exciting feature of blogging. Blogging is basically a showcase to share ideas with world wide people. The idea behind structure blogging is that it can be more specific for the end users. As structure blogging contains XML and XHTML. Structure Blogging is the way to improve search result for bloggers and its reviewers.
Structured Blogging plugings embed information in both the HTML blog and the syndicated feed, applications can run in web browsers (like a Firefox plugin for comparison shopping which also reads product reviews); aggregators (such as one that adds your friend's calendar entries to your date book); or web services (like a feed for everyone who is attending the same conference as you).
I came to know about two parts of structure blogging, two websites are providing structure blogging search:
www.technorati.com (Support Lower Case Semantic Web)
www.pubsub.com (Support Upper Case Semantic web)
Now the question is that what is Lower Case Semantic Web and Upper Case Semantic Web?
Lower Case Semantic Web defined some MICROFORMATS and say that all data must have some XHTML classes which must be named in blogging type (like review, blog, event), XHTML can have these classes like: <div class="review">
Upper Case Semantic Web defined some SCHEMAS snd say that all data must be in XML format and must have some already defined tags like: <review> </review>
There are a lot of pros and cons of both formats. Lets see what are these... (I will come to cover this point in my next blog)

Benifits of Structured Blogging:
The plugins not only publishes structured content with microformats-compatible page tags and easily-parsed blocks of XML, but also flows the microcontent through all types of XML feeds (RSS 2.0, Atom and RSS 1.0) and also enables automatic conversion into RDF, and in future, OPML.
