FME 2007 Release to Include Support for Georss NEWS FME 2007 Release to Include Support for GeoRSS Safe Software (Canada) has introduced GeoRSS support in FME 2007. RSS (Really Simple Syndication) has become a common way to publish and share information. By adding location to RSS, the emergence of GeoRSS is providing a way to integrate and share spatial and non-spatial data, and Safe Software’s FME 2007 will enable reading and writing GeoRSS/RSS feeds. "Safe Software’s support of GeoRSS allows FME users to take advantage of one of the web’s newest methods of disseminating spatial information – RSS or Atom feeds that include location information," said Don Murray, Safe Software’s co-founder and president. "GeoRSS is simply RSS with location information and is a great way to quickly and simply distribute small amounts of spatial information to a wide audience." FME’s GeoRSS reader and writer support both RSS and Atom feeds, and all of the three current GeoRSS standards for encoding geographical data in a feed: World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Geo, GeoRSS Simple and GeoRSS GML Profile. Using FME’s GeoRSS reader, regularly updated information provided by any geo-tagged feed becomes just another data source to FME, enabling users to work with the data quickly and easily. The feed could be loaded into a database or overlaid and displayed on a custom base map, either in FME’s Universal Viewer, or in an FME-supported mapping application. FME’s GeoRSS writer allows users to publish their own GeoRSS feeds to their own websites. For example, a municipality could use the GeoRSS writer to easily make available GeoRSS feeds of timely events such as fire calls, new building or subdivision permits, and new business licenses. Although this is newly evolved technology, examples of GeoRSS feeds that are already publicly available include recent earthquake occurrences, regional traffic congestion reports and upcoming events hosted in recreational and cultural facilities. A number of free and very easy to use tools are also emerging that allow the information contained in GeoRSS feeds to be visualized in a mashup and shared with others. Example mashups showing FME training course locations from a GeoRSS feed created with FME are available at tinyurl.com/yqcxsd and tinyurl.com/ys3e4m. The GeoRSS reader and writer is available in the FME 2007 beta (www.safe.com/beta).

  • Technology Brief FME Reader and Writer for Georss
    Technology Brief FME Reader and Writer for GeoRSS Key Facts Capabilities: Read and write all GeoRSS standards for both RSS and Atom web feeds Benefits: Take advantage of one of the web’s newest methods of spatial data distribution – with speed and ease FME 2007 and later FME versions allow FME users to take advantage of one of the web’s newest methods of distributing spatial data - RSS or Atom feeds that include location information, or GeoRSS-enabled feeds. Using FME’s GeoRSS reader, regularly updated information provided by any geo-tagged feed can be quickly overlaid on a custom base map, either in FME’s Universal Viewer, or in an FME-supported mapping application. FME’s GeoRSS writer allows FME users to easily publish a feed with embedded location information.In addition to processing GeoRSS feeds, the reader and writer can also be used to create and consume traditional (non spatially-enabled) RSS or Atom feeds. These screenshots show information obtained from a GeoRSS feed provided by the USGS. Each histogram represents the location of a recent earthquake, with magnitude indicated by the height of the histogram. The GeoRSS feed was transformed into a KML file in FME’s Workbench application, then visualized in Google Earth. FME's GeoRSS Reader Specifics FME’s GeoRSS reader supports the following XML feed formats: RSS versions 0.91, 0.92 and 2.0 Atom versions 0.3 and 1.0. The following GeoRSS geometry formats are supported: W3C Geo GeoRSS Simple GeoRSS GML Profile The GeoRSS reader can read a file stored locally, or a web stream.

  • 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.

  • COMMUNICATING SCIENTIFIC BUZZ with GEORSS Authors: Lisa M
    COMMUNICATING SCIENTIFIC BUZZ WITH GEORSS Authors: Lisa M. Ballagh and Florence Fetterer Address of the authors: 449 UCB Boulder, CO 80309 Keywords: RSS, GeoRSS, scientific data management Body: Introduction Buzz words such as “RSS” and “GeoRSS” are rapidly gaining momentum on the Web. In an effort to discover what they mean and how to use the technologies behind them, we are exploring Geographically Encoded Objects for RSS feeds (GeoRSS), since this technology captures the basics of Really Simple Syndication (RSS) but adds a geographic component. After the initial time investment of learning both RSS and GeoRSS, it became evident that GeoRSS would be an optimal way of disseminating many news items from the NOAA-funded data management program at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NOAA@NSIDC) to those using RSS and GeoRSS map readers. This GeoRSS feed will distribute content about new scientific data sets and updates to existing data products, as well as other NOAA@NSIDC news. The advantage of adding a GeoRSS feed to the “NOAA@NSIDC News” frame on our Web site is that GeoRSS adds a spatial context to the presentation of news. GeoRSS users can potentially browse for data using spatial keywords, and see data product or event locations on a map. For example, users could be alerted when additions are made to the popular Online Glacier Photograph Database (NSIDC/WDC for Glaciology, 2006). Over 50,000 unique users have viewed the photographs online, and over 300 users have registered in order to learn of additions or other changes to the collection. Currently we send those users an email.

  • IMDA Service Identification for Broadcasters & Aggregators
    IMDA Service Identification for Broadcasters & Aggregators Service Identification [v2.2] for Broadcasters & Aggregators Executive Summary The IMDA publishes their Service Identification for Broadcasters & Aggregators in an attempt to standardise the industry of Internet Radio, in the first instance, and establish a working framework for future media services. 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.
