Mida - A Microdata Extractor Libary for Ruby

We had been following the upcoming HTML 5 standard and needed a library to extract Microdata from web pages, but couldn't find anything suitable for Ruby.  We therefore wrote this library and released it as Open Source. More information can be found on the Mida project page.

Prism - A Microformat Extractor Libary for Ruby

We maintain a fork of Prism, the leading microformat extraction library. Web data extraction is a key part of our business and extending Prism is critical.  Our fork is hosted on GitHub.
