  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Full Data Controlled Web-Based Feed Aggregator
    International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology (IJCSIT) Vol 4, No 3, June 2012 FULL DATA CONTROLLED WEB-BASED FEED AGGREGATOR Haruna Isah Department of Computing, School of Computing, Informatics and Media University of Bradford, UK. [email protected] ABSTRACT Feed syndication is analogous to electronic newsletters, both are aimed at delivering feeds to subscribers; the difference is that while newsletter subscription requires e-mail and exposed you to spam and security challenges, feed syndication ensures that you only get what you requested for. This paper reports a review on the state of the art of feed aggregation technology and the development of a locally hosted web based feed aggregator as a research tool using the core features of WordPress; the software was further enhanced with plugins and widgets for dynamic content publishing, database and object caching, social web syndication, back-up and maintenance, among others. The results highlight the current developments in software re-use and describes; how open source content management systems can be used for both online and offline publishing, a means whereby feed aggregator users can control and share feed data, as well as how web developers can focus on extending the features of built-in software libraries in applications rather than reinventing the wheel. KEYWORDS Aggregator, Atom, CMS, Feed, Open Source, Plugins, RSS, XML, Widgets, WordPress 1. INTRODUCTION Open source initiatives and the emergence of Web 2.0 have exposed the world to wide range of information sources. The World Wide Web has become packed with contents making it difficult for users to sort through and find what they are looking for.

  • Outlin Processor Markup Language OPML 1.0 Specification
    Outline Processor Markup Language OPML 1.0 Specification 9/15/00 DW About this document This document describes a format for storing outlines in XML 1.0 called Outline Processor Markup Language or OPML. For the purposes of this document, an outline is a tree, where each node contains a set of named attributes with string values. Timeline Outlines have been a popular way to organize information on computers for a long time. While the history of outlining software is unclear, a rough timeline is possible. Probably the first outliner was developed by Doug Engelbart, as part of the Augment system in the 1960s. Living Videotext, 1981-87, developed several popular outliners for personal computers. They are archived on a UserLand website, outliners.com. Frontier, first shipped in 1992, is built around outlining. The text, menu and script editors in Frontier are outliners, as is the object database browser. XML 1.0, the format that OPML is based on, is a recommendation of the W3C. Radio UserLand, first shipped in March 2001, is an outliner whose native file format is OPML. OPML is used for directories in Manila. From www.opml.org/spec 1 30 August 2003 Examples Outlines can be used for specifications, legal briefs, product plans, presentations, screenplays, directories, diaries, discussion groups, chat systems and stories. Outliners are programs that allow you to read, edit and reorganize outlines. Examples of OPML documents: play list, specification, presentation. [See appendices] Goals of the OPML format The purpose of this format is to provide a way to exchange information between outliners and Internet services that can be browsed or controlled through an outliner.
