  • 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 Enclosures Drupal News Aggregator Module Reads RSS News Feeds and Stores the Items in the Database
    Personal Wiki: RSS Enclosures Drupal news Aggregator module reads RSS news feeds and stores the items in the database. News items are then displayed as content on the Drupal site. The news feeds that I use for Real Food Shop contain links to recipes and also links to small pictures called enclosures in RSS terminology. Normally when processing the xml tags in a RSS file the content appears between an opening and a closing tag. An example of this is: <title>Good Things Take Time</title> RSS enclosure tags are done differently , why I do not know. All the information about the enclosure item is contained as attributes within the tag itself. An example of this is: <enclosure url="http://media.apn.co.nz/webcontent/image/jpg/beef-701.jpg" length="2000" type="image/jpeg" /> To extract the image url from within the enclosure tag the xml parser must go inside the tag and pull out the value of the 'url' attribute. Modifications I made to the Aggregator module to allow processing of enclosure image urls. 1. Open the database and add a new field to aggregator_item table (same as the guid field) field [ imageurl varchar(255) utf8_general_ci Null:Yes Default:NULL] 2. Open aggregator.module and add support for enclosure URL attribute to aggregator_element_start() add a new case between case LINK and case ITEM: case 'ENCLOSURE': if ($element == 'ITEM') $items[$item]['ENCLOSURE'] = $attributes['URL']; break; 3. Open aggregator.module and add support for imageurl to aggregator_parse_feed() // Initialize variables. $title = $link = $author = $description = $guid = $imageurl = NULL; foreach ($items as $item) { unset($title, $link, $author, $description, $guid, $imageurl ); under the line $guid = isset($item['GUID']) ? $item['GUID'] : ''; $imageurl = isset($item['ENCLOSURE']) ? $item['ENCLOSURE'] : ''; aggregator_save_item(array('iid' => (isset($entry->iid) ? $entry->iid: ''), 'fid' => $feed['fid'], 'timestamp' => $timestamp, 'title' => $title, 'link' => $link, 'author' => $item['AUTHOR'], 'description' => $item['DESCRIPTION'], 'guid' => $guid, ' imageurl ' => $imageurl )); 4.

    User-Centered Social Software – Beyond Closed Community Platforms Vanda Lehel, Florian Matthes, Sheng Wei Technical Report Technische Universität München Lehrstuhl Software Engineering betrieblicher Informationssysteme Boltzmannstrasse 3 85748 Garching bei München {lehel, matthes, weis}@in.tum.de Abstract: This paper gives a structural overview of social software and its use for content aggregation and publication. We then extend this view to a user-centered perspective. We propose a lightweight XML-based content syndication architecture. It supports bidirectional information flow, as a proper extension and unification mechanism to facilitate the usage of several social software systems at once. Finally, we explain technical requirements based on usage scenarios and discuss benefits and limitations of this architecture. 1. Introduction and Motivation The newly emerging class of social software facilitates interaction and collaboration among individuals. It allows individuals to form different communities to connect or to collaborate with each other based on their social context. Different types of systems and services like instant messaging, internet relay chat, forums, wikis, weblogs, social networking services, and object-centered social software are examples of this category of software [Burg05]. In the aforementioned cases, XML networking plays an essential role in two ways: XML is the payload and XML is part of the protocol [MD04]. XML is widely used in social software since it is self-describing and also due to its strengths concerning interoperability, reuse, flexibility, and extensibility. The join between the ubiquitous HTTP protocol and XML gives rise to several new kinds of network protocols and architectures in the area of social software. The usage of XML-technologies by social software will be explained in detail in chapter 2.

  • Working with Feeds, RSS, and Atom
    CHAPTER 4 Working with Feeds, RSS, and Atom A fundamental enabling technology for mashups is syndication feeds, especially those packaged in XML. Feeds are documents used to transfer frequently updated digital content to users. This chapter introduces feeds, focusing on the specific examples of RSS and Atom. RSS and Atom are arguably the most widely used XML formats in the world. Indeed, there’s a good chance that any given web site provides some RSS or Atom feed—even if there is no XML-based API for the web site. Although RSS and Atom are the dominant feed format, other formats are also used to create feeds: JSON, PHP serialization, and CSV. I will also cover those formats in this chapter. So, why do feeds matter? Feeds give you structured information from applications that is easy to parse and reuse. Not only are feeds readily available, but there are many applications that use those feeds—all requiring no or very little programming effort from you. Indeed, there is an entire ecology of web feeds (the data formats, applications, producers, and consumers) that provides great potential for the remix and mashup of information—some of which is starting to be realized today. This chapter covers the following: * What feeds are and how they are used * The semantics and syntax of feeds, with a focus on RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, and Atom 1.0 * The extension mechanism of RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 * How to get feeds from Flickr and other feed-producing applications and web sites * Feed formats other than RSS and Atom in the context of Flickr feeds * How feed autodiscovery can be used to find feeds * News aggregators for reading feeds and tools for validating and scraping feeds * How to remix and mashup feeds with Feedburner and Yahoo! Pipes Note In this chapter, I assume you have an understanding of the basics of XML, including XML namespaces and XML schemas.

  • History Contents
    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.
