Geo is a draft standard intended to be one of several "microformats" released via the microformats.org site and community, intended for the representation of information in a manner that is human-readable but can still be processed by machines.
The format encodes a position on Earth (latitude and longitude) in the form of a standardized set of elements and attributes in HTML or XML. Thus, it can be embedded in web pages and be readable this way (and styled via CSS), but has a standardized structure that can easily be converted mechanically to other formats as needed for machine processing.
Example
N 26° 21' 1.8" W 80° 5' 15.7194"
