Goodbye Static Bibliography, Hello OPML! Or RSS, Pt. 2 Tina J. Jayroe Goodbye Static Bibliography, Hello OPML! or RSS, pt. 2 Tina J. Jayroe University of Denver Jessica Branco Colati Metadata Architectures May 19, 2009 Jayroe OPML, even more than blogging, even more than RSS . it’s designed for what librarians do. It’s designed for knowledge, and relating one set of knowledge to another set of knowledge. –Dave Winer, Morning Coffee Notes Like RSS,1 OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is a one of the most widely used versions of the XML format. The development of both RSS and OPML can be credited to Dave Winer, a software developer who is also responsible for the creation of weblogs, podcasting, and many other Web applications.2 OPML is based on the same simple scripting and technology as RSS. Its metadata elements and attributes are mechanisms for keeping Web publications: structured, categorized, relational, dynamic, and resourceful. OPML, which first became available in 2000, goes a step beyond RSS in that it contains an <outline> element (or nodetype) within the XML encoding schema. These <outline> tags can have any number of attributes as well as arbitrary data—so long as they are not repeated. The most popular ones are the <outline text> and <outline type> and are usually referred to as “common attributes” (Morin, 2005, ¶ 2). The structure of the OPML format is hierarchical and must contain these elements: <opml version= “2.0”> is the root element <head> is also a required element and may contain either no elements or many elements such as <title>, <ownerName>, <ownerEmail>, etc. <body> contains the content and must have at least one <outline> element such as: 2 Jayroe <outline text> or <outline type>. Although these two are the most common, there are no constraints on the number or type of attributes that can be outlined here; this is what makes OPML so flexible and extensible (Miller, 2005, ¶ 5). Figure 1. OPML structure. Source: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/rssframework/opml_classdiagram.gif OPML is largely used in the weblog community for containing blogrolls—a list of links that bloggers embed in their Web pages. Not only can one subscribe to a multitude of blogs (known as subscription lists) in one directory, but they may be organized using the category attribute, which was borrowed from RSS. Figure 2. A blogroll/subscription list. Source: http://alwaysaskwhy.com/jameselee/blog/images /EXAMPLE-raw-OPML-vs-Grazr-skinned-2006.12.30.png 3 Jayroe Figure 3. An example of the category attribute. Source: http://hosting.opml.org/dave/spec/category.opml “By far” the most popular application of OPML is for manipulating subscription lists “and probably makes OPML the number two XML-based format out on the Web, simply because it’s the way people move their lists of feeds” (Winer, 2006, 14:25 minutes in). People often want to change their aggregators and move their feeds (e.g., from Google Reader to Bloglines or NewsGator, etc.). By using OPML to combine these lists, referred to as bundles, a user is then able to transfer subscriptions—keeping the hierarchical structure of their categories, and also preventing them from having to subscribe to each feed again individually (Rethlefsen, Mojon & Rothman, 2009, p. 85). Other benefits of OPML are the <ownerID>, <ownerName>, and <ownerEmail> element specifications. These elements allow one person accessing another person’s XML document to be able to contact the author without that author having to publish his or her email address or contact information (Winer, 2006, 10:20 minutes in; Scripting News, 2000–2009, “Notes”). This spec is in line with goals of the Semantic Web in that OPML can contain more than just lists of feeds; developers and users are encouraged to link, or point to, an owner’s FOAF3 document, homepage, or other resource. Appropriately, OPML 2.0 is capable of supporting namespaces4 as done similarly in RSS 2.0 (Scripting News, Inc., 2000-2009, ¶ 5). 4 Jayroe Optional information, yet valuable in today’s Web environment. Figure 4. A simple example of an OPML version 1.1 script. Source: Mercuri, 2007, p. 191 OPML 2.0 also uses the <docs> element from RSS so that information about an object’s format can be traceable in the future. In other words, this element requests an http address be added that would explain the format of the original creation and publication. Its purpose is to provide documentation should information processing technologies change in the future (Winer, 2006, 13:02 minutes in). Note that neither the personal information elements nor the original document format elements are required. At The Library In addition to the arbitrary attributes previously mentioned, the <include> element is another spec that makes OPML very extensible. Winer’s example: you have compiled a subscription list pertaining to a particular topic, yet lack some knowledge in one area of that topic, you can “include” an OPML directory from another person’s outline within 5 Jayroe your script, thereby creating broader scope, more currency, etc. on the topic. The real benefit, though, is whenever that person makes a change to his or her directory it will be reflected in your directory (Winer, 2006, 17:03 minutes in). This functionality is perfect for libraries because it is an inexpensive way for librarians to publish more comprehensive bibliographies and research guides while also keeping them from becoming outdated. Winer explains how OPML was practically meant for the library environment: Steven Cohen, who is a librarian that . is the editor of the Library Stuff weblog and he’s one of the earliest librarian bloggers out there. And, Steven—like I hope many librarians to come—has absolutely fallen in love with OPML, and I think it’s . totally appropriate. OPML, even more than blogging, even more than RSS . it’s designed for what librarians do. It’s designed for knowledge, and relating one set of knowledge to another set of knowledge. And doing it in an extremely elegant way if I do say so myself (Winer, 2006, 6:52 minutes in). Kimberly Wilcox, assistant professor and Web services librarian at Asuza Pacific University, uses OPML to make “dynamic” reading lists for her patrons and students in the form of syndicated research and information guides. The benefit of using OPML for this purpose is that unlike the elements in RSS, an OPML <outline> can contain more than just links and text, they can contain multimedia files, new article titles from the university’s databases, and many other file types. Thus, when a user subscribes to an outline (usually hosted on a Web site), the subscription will contain not only a wide 6 Jayroe variety of resources but it will also reflect any updates or changes the librarian or her “inclusions” have made to the reading list (Wilcox, 2006, p. 8). Figure 5. A dynamic bibliography using OPML. Source: http://www.infotoday.com/cilmag/nov06/Fig2_guide.gif Another corporate librarian, John Tropea,5 wanted to make dynamic bibliographies after glancing at a traditional, annotated one at his library. He contemplated adding the descriptions and bibliographic records from the OPAC into OPML using the <include> nodetype (Tropea, 2006, ¶ 5). Since OPML’s extensions could contain permalinks to the catalog’s bibliographic record fields such as: title, subject, author, etc., as well as link to Amazon’s data, he believed the format would create a more dynamic reading list for his users and would allow for more data manipulation (Tropea, 2006, ¶ 6). Both Wilcox and Tropea suggest posting the OPML files on a Web site so that anyone may import the files into their own readers, making the data more sharable. 7 Jayroe Limitations and Downsides of OPML OPML version 1.0 had some serious issues such as: (a) not providing a definition of subscription lists (Winer, 2006, 14:20 minutes in), (b) not being able to <include> another person’s directory unless their extensions ended in .opml (Winer, 2006, 17:19 minutes in), and (c) not specifying formats for date times (Mercer, 2007, p. 191). However, these issues have been resolved and are no longer factors in OPML 2.0. Issues that seem to concern mainstream users today are that OPML editors are not easy to use. While the benefit of not having to know XHTML or XML is an advantage, almost unanimous consensus is that the editing tools available take a lot of patience and technical skills to learn. However, as far as the library world is concerned, the only catch to creating dynamic bibliographies is having a Web site on which to host the reading lists—assuming one has a technical librarian. Conclusion OPML was created to provide information exchange and interoperability across programs and platforms in a simple, inexpensive, machine- and human-readable way (Scripting News, Inc., 2000-2009, ¶ 1). It is a format for disseminating and sharing timely information much like RSS; however, OPML contains added elements/nodetypes which enable structured categorization, detailed description, and a variety of sharable extensions—whereas in RSS, content is primarily a <link> fed through a <channel>. The main drawback of OPML is its complicated outliner tools, yet research suggests that these issues are constantly being worked on. Dave Winer and his team of developers tend to release new versions only after lengthy public review periods— 8 Jayroe assuring that the OPML format is met with public satisfaction, and that it furthers the technical capabilities for managing and sharing Web-based publications. In fact, OPML does do all that: It is easy to understand, inexpensive to implement, and effective in relating humans to other humans, content to similar content, and humans to their relevant content. 9 Jayroe References Harper, C.

  • Open Search Environments: the Free Alternative to Commercial Search Services
    Open Search Environments: The Free Alternative to Commercial Search Services. Adrian O’Riordan ABSTRACT Open search systems present a free and less restricted alternative to commercial search services. This paper explores the space of open search technology, looking in particular at lightweight search protocols and the issue of interoperability. A description of current protocols and formats for engineering open search applications is presented. The suitability of these technologies and issues around their adoption and operation are discussed. This open search approach is especially useful in applications involving the harvesting of resources and information integration. Principal among the technological solutions are OpenSearch, SRU, and OAI-PMH. OpenSearch and SRU realize a federated model to enable content providers and search clients communicate. Applications that use OpenSearch and SRU are presented. Connections are made with other pertinent technologies such as open-source search software and linking and syndication protocols. The deployment of these freely licensed open standards in web and digital library applications is now a genuine alternative to commercial and proprietary systems. INTRODUCTION Web search has become a prominent part of the Internet experience for millions of users. Companies such as Google and Microsoft offer comprehensive search services to users free with advertisements and sponsored links, the only reminder that these are commercial enterprises. Businesses and developers on the other hand are restricted in how they can use these search services to add search capabilities to their own websites or for developing applications with a search feature. The closed nature of the leading web search technology places barriers in the way of developers who want to incorporate search functionality into applications.

  • RSS Version History
    RRSSSS -- VVEERRSSIIOONN HHIISSTTOORRYY http://www.tutorialspoint.com/rss/rss-version-history.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com RSS was first invented by Netscape. They wanted to use an XML format to distribute news, stories, and information. Netscape refined the version of RSS and then dropped it. Later Userland Software started controlling RSS specifications and releasing newer RSS versions. They continued development of their own version of RSS and eventually UserLand released RSS v2. RSS has been released in many different versions. 12/27/97 - Dave Winer at Userland developed scriptingNews. RSS was born. 3/15/99 - Netscape developed RSS 0.90 whichsupportedscriptingNews. This was simply XML with an RDF Header and it was used for my.netscape.com. 6/15/99 - Dave Winer at UserLand develops scriptingNews 2.0b1, which included Netscape's RSS 0.90 features also. 7/10/99 - Netscape developed RSS 0.91. In this version they removed the RDF header, but included most features from scriptingNews 2.0b1. 7/28/99 - UserLand deprecated scriptingNews formats and adopted only RSS 0.91. Netscape stops their RSS development. 6/4/00 - UserLand releases the official RSS 0.91 specification. 8/14/00 - A group led by Rael Dornfest at O'Reilly, developed RSS 1.0. This format uses RDF and namespaces. This version is often confused as being a new version of 0.91, but this is a completely new format with no ties to RSS 0.91 12/25/00 - Dave Winer at UserLand develops RSS 0.92, which is 0.91 with optional elements. 04/20/01 - RSS0.93 was discussed but never deployed.

    RSS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 6 RSS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from RSS feeds) RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple RSS Syndication ) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. [2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", [3] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates The RSS logo from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read Filename .rss, .xml using software called an "RSS reader", "feed extension reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, application/rss+xml desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A Internet standardized XML file format allows the media type (Registration Being information to be published once and viewed by Prepared) [1] many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or Type of Web syndication by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that format initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader Extended XML checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for from new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved from as early as March 1999, [4] it was between 2005 and 2006 when RSS gained widespread use, and the (" ") icon was decided upon by several major Web browsers.

The Service Identification describes a way for a broadcaster, or media organisation, to expose their data to a hardware or software solution run by a third party. The data from the media organisation contains details of itself, its brands and its brands' transport methods. Not only is this technical information but also editorial information allowing the solution to correctly categorise and expose brands to the audience, and to allow a solution to evaluate appropriateness of brands to criteria supplied where the solution includes some search functionality or automated browsing features. 2011) Dec 05 (Mon, +0000 09:06:20 - 2011-12-05 svn#130 version: File | v2.2 version: Specification In order for an organisation to make available this data to others the IMDA recommends the organisation to follow the Service Identification specifications included in this document so that common understanding, ease of repurposing and avoidance of publishing data in different formats for different solutions is achieved. This provides benefits for both the media organisation and the solution provider. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 1.1. Licence 1.2. How this document is structured 1.3. General advice 1.3.1.

Podcasting may be the perfect example of that principle — and it’s changing the relationship people have with their radios, music collections, books, education, and more. The podcasting movement is actually a spin-off of another communications boom: blogs. Blogs sprang up right and left in the early 2000s, providing nonpro- grammers and designers a clean, elegant interface that left many on the technol- ogy side wondering why they hadn’t thought of it sooner. Everyday people could chronicle their lives, hopes, dreams, and fears and show them to anyone who cared to read. And oddly enough, people did care to read — and still do. Then COPYRIGHTEDin 2003, former MTV VeeJay Adam MATERIAL Curry started collaborating with pro- grammer Dave Winer about improving RSS (which stands for Really Simple Syndi- cation ) that not only allowed you to share text and images, but media attachments which included compressed audio and video fi les. Soon after, Curry released his fi rst podcast catching client. Thus launched the media platform of podcasting.
