%Title Log Schema - A Proposal
%Author J4YC33
%Categories Blog, Standards, A Suggestion
And right now we use strict gemlanguage for them, but what about some meta
tagging? I think it will work for a couple of reasons:
1. The protocol will just view the lines as text, which they are, and they're
even human readable.
2. Not many lines in documents *start* with a %.
3. It can help both make gemlogs more clear, and provide a reasonable method
for having human readable and machine parsable metadata for rapid management
of a gemlog with a CLI or GUI client.
I really don't think it has to be anything big, and frankly I don't see any
reason why someone wouldn't be able to use *extra* meta-tags other than the
ones below, but I thought defining a set of recommended meta-tags would be
beneficial.
* Title
* The title of the post, alphanumeric
* Author
* The Author of the post, alphanumeric
* Date
* The date of the post, in any parseable datetime format
* Categories
* A comma separated list of Categories to fit the blog
The usage is fairly straightforward, simply (as in the beginning of this post)
start the line with a '%' followed immediately by the tag.
I think it's an OK idea at least...
