[ apologies for the crosspost, please be gentle with followups; ideally send to rss-dev only ] RDF, Dublin Core folks, Just a quick note to encourage implementors interested in the RSS channel/syndication data format to take a look at our release candidate at http://purl.org/rss/1.0/ While RSS is not a W3C or DCMI effort, it'd be great if folks from the RDF IG and DCMI Architecture lists could take a look. My implementation experience to date leads me to think we've got it just about right. DC-augmented RSS 1.0 can be scraped from XHTML using XSLT (see [1]) so content producers can avoid the need to author RSS/RDF by hand --- ie. it can be pretty simple to deploy. RSS 1.0 can nevertheless serve as a transport for richer application specific data structures (see [2], eg. job descriptions, dublin core extensions etc) that can work with more sophisticated query and inference tools from the RDF / Semantic Web community. We're on a fairly aggressive schedule with RSS, so we're looking for showstopper problems rather than endless discussion. Take a look and see if you can break it! ;-) Have fun, Dan [1] http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/ [2] http://ilrt.org/discovery/2000/11/rss-query/
