One of the things he's looking at is aggregating and merging newsfeeds (well, the case study uses weather reports, but RSS has sufficient structure to make his fusion rules work, I think) to take into account inconsistency in the supplied data. The technique would really rely on "semantic" markup in RSS, though: that is, for instance, using RSS modules for weather, football reports, etc - or being able to parse the interesting bits out of free text. -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287088 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 http://ioctl.org/jan/ Unfortunately, I have a very good idea how fast my keys are moving.
