Microformats

Microformats are a set of simple, open data formats built upon existing HTML standards that add machine-readable semantic meaning to web content by using standardized class names and HTML attributes. For accessibility, microformats enhance the semantic richness of web pages, making content meaning more explicit to assistive technologies and search engines. While microformats do not directly map to accessibility APIs the way ARIA does, they complement semantic HTML by encouraging developers to think about the meaning of their content rather than just its visual presentation.
