gollark: There's no (widely used) standard saying "if you're displaying an event/contact information/whatever else, you need these tags/attributes", so you generally just have to work off site-specific classes and structure.
gollark: If you want to, say, pull a list of scheduled events from one website, that's fine, you can do that quite easily, but if you want to do it for *many* websites, it is not.
gollark: But generally speaking, what I mean is that HTML is structured, but for display and not extracting (much) general data.
gollark: Hmm, yes, that is a sensible way to get at least title/description.
gollark: I guess you could require people to include specific HTML tags in the site with some attributes you can read.
