Gotze's OPML Directory Browser
OPML/XML: http://slashdemocracy.org/links/all.opml
This is a directory browser created by John Gøtze in April 2003 to
demonstrate an OPML-driven directory browser for browsing loosely coupled
OPML-files from his own GotzeLinked.
The directory
browser is based on Austin Marshall's
PHP-OPML Viewer.
The search feature is based on Micah
Alpern's Trusted
Blog Searching tool. For description see Browsing
with OPML. I wanted to use a semi-large directory (GotzeLinked has more
than 1000 links with descriptions) to demonstrate an architectural principle,
loosely coupling, in practice. Rather than having one large file with all
data, I use a meta-OPML-file ("father") and a set of individual,
thematic (category-based) OPML-files ("siblings"). I created a new
(?) attribute called opmlurl, with which I in the father-file points to the
OPML-files of each sibling. In terms of interoperability, OPML sucks. It is
not "real" XML - it's more like HTML on steroids actually, using
non-standard attributes to store important data, rendering it very difficult
to work with in the modern XML-world. That, together with the fact that the
OPML specification is closed (Dave Winer has the IPR on the spec), and non-specific
about attributes, makes it virually impossible to make OPML-systems interoperable.
Some use "url" to describe everything available on an URL, while
others use "htmlurl", "xmlurl", or "opmlurl"
(like I do) to distinguish between various formats.

(RSS 0.9)
InfoWorld starting using RSS in April 2002 after Chad Dickerson came there from
Salon which had been using RSS since 2000. They began offering readers their
own feed after it was silly to force people to create their own by scraping
their site. Dickerson
says "We've used RSS to power the IDG Enterprise Network links on the
home pages of InfoWorld, ComputerWorld, CIO, and Network World ... At IDG, each
business unit operates very independently, ...We're all using RSS in some capacity
publicly, of course, as you probably already know.) It was only recently (April
28, to be exact) that I felt like RSS had completely turned the corner at InfoWorld
when the various constituenices at InfoWorld (sales, editorial, and technology)
agreed to include links to our feeds prominently on our home page. Getting something
on the home page is recognition that something has been politically mainstreamed
within an organization, as RSS has been at InfoWorld. I can't find any of our
traditional competitors, even those who have RSS feeds, who have utlized precious
real estate on the home page to promote them." InfoWorld is the only feed
producer that I'm aware of that embeds advertising...hope its not something
that catches on.

Systems (eg. Plone, Drupal, and Tiki). They support three interesting CMS projects:
- SlideML
- a XML based Markup Language for making slide presentations. It allows the
display of presentations for different purposes in different formats like
HTML, PDF, SVG and others. The second benefit is, that your SlideML will also
be readable in say ten, twenty years, something Powerpoint and other Binary
Formats will have a lot of problems with for sure. You need CSS, XSLT or any
other programming language to transform it in some human enjoyable form. SlideML
can be easily translated via XSLT to some of the other formats like Docbook
slides, Axkit Slideshow, Rasmus PHP XML Slides as well as directly to SVG
or styled with CSS.
- SoftwareML
- XML to describe content management frameworks, systems and editors.
- Twingle
- a tool for content authors to work with networked information. The project
is focused on improving three parts of the content management experience:
Locating, Creating, and Collaborating. Each of these will be simpler, faster,
and more powerful for average people that work with WCM (web content management)

v4.2.2 (PostNuke) - Stand Alone Version
MyHeadlines is a Content Syndication Engine with advanced search capabilities.
This module allows each user to subscribe to as many news sources as they want
from a large database of sources. MyHeadlines consolidates and caches the selected
news items and offers one stop shopping for all the news you could ever want.
As a user you may subscribe to many news/content sources from the MyHeadlines
database of over 2,500 feeds, both RSS 0.91 and RSS 1.0. The MyHeadlines engine
allows you to configure the layout of this page to suit your needs; It will
allow you to place the "Boxes" containing the syndicated content in
one of the four corners on the front page. All feeds are searchable. It allow
the seamless integration of MyHeadlines into any PHP & MySQL based website.

User Guide by Hilary E. House Jr, and Mike's Installation
FAQ, General
FAQ, and API
tutorial
Uses these objects:
- GTU - "Generic
Tree Utility" This object is a self contained "Linked List"
implementation where the content is stored in a MySQL DB instead of memory.
Additionally there is a powerfull rendering interface that allow you to
step through the list (tree) and open up branches, close branches, delete
branches, etc. The rendering engine is the the real jewel here, you can
identify nodes by type and apply different URL templates, icons, and actions
to the visible tree. The GTU is re-entrant in that you may store many different
trees within the object and configure the views for each tree individually.
This is evident in the 3 trees that are part of MyHeadlines:
Category Tree
Menu Tree
User Subscription Tree
- PD - "Persistant
Data" is an object that eliminates the need for configuration files.
This simple database object allows the storage an retrieval of named variables
and their contents. It is completely indifferent to variable names or their
values allowing for absolute flexibility. You can see it in action in the
Administration->Configure page (MyHeadlines/screens/admConfig.php); Since
the variable interface to this object is common to all variables stored
within it, you can easily construct configuration pages that grant access
to any variable stored with the PD object.
- Scraper Engine
- The scraper engine has been optimized for speed, and ease of use. This
engine performs the parsing of the Yahoo Finance pages for the stock ticker,
and will serve as the foundation of the new "Scraped Feeds" components
for an upcoming MyHeadlines release. A scraped feed is an internally generated
XML representation of a source that does not publish according to syndication
standards like RDF/RSS/XML.
The default
format if RSS0.91 but the backend can also produce valid rss0.9 and rss1.0
feeds. For example, the CNN Scraped Feed:
http://www.jmagar.com/modules.php?
op=modload&name=MyHeadlines&file=index&myh=backend&myh_op=rss&myh_sid=30
98
- http://www.jmagar.com/modules.php?
op=modload&name=MyHeadlines&file=index
- This is a standard URL to the module, yours may be different (index.php?y=0)
- &myh=backend
- This is cannot be changed
- &myh_op=rss
- Other valid options: rss0.9 , rss0.91 , rss1.0
- &myh_sid=3098
- This is any valid source ID. The source id of any feed can be discovered
by clicking the info link in the admin category tree beside the source you
are interested in.

or to send email alerts. Informa
(now in version 0.2.4) is an open source RSS Library providing a convenient
Java API for handling news channels and metadata about them. Different syntax
formats (like RSS 0.91 and 1.0 RDF) for channels are supported. It is planned
to also support channel information descriptions. Additional information and
documentation can be obtained from the Informa

Project (Wiki)
An initiative to develop a common syntax for syndication, archiving and an publishing
API for solving RSS interoperatibility issues. Echo will be vendor neutral,
implemented by everybody, freely extensible by anybody, and cleanly and thoroughly
specified. It's an attempt to design an extensible replacement for RSS that
will unify blogging formats instead of coming up with liberal ways for parsing
RSS in all its varieties. The project is not without its critics, even from
Sam's colleage Mark
Pilgrim. Jon Udell has summarized some
of the points made in the debate in his weblog.

My Blog (Moveable Type and TypePad)
Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome
and others at 2Xtreme Media created
Bite My Blog serves no other purpose than to demonstrate the power of RSS, PHP
and automation. It indexes content and published it as it is updated. This is
a very dynamic and content rich site, powered entirely by timed scripts that
took no more than one hour to write and bloggers who are generous enough to
offer XML syndication. It was originally an exercise in XML parsing. It required
volunteer bloggers to submit their Blog URL and Blog RSS feed to the system.
Upon approval, their blog was added to a queue and their RSS feed was indexed
once daily and parsed using the ColdFusion scripting language. We had approximately
30 blogs in the database. It was redesigned in May of 2003 and the original
blog database was scrapped. The new database was built automatically by parsing
the XML feed of recently updated weblogs at Weblogs.com. A script was executed
hourly to seek new blog names and URLs for indexing. It ran for several weeks
to produce over 30,000 unique blog URLs. Currently, Bite My Blog has found exactly
100677 blogs and entered them in its Blogger
Index.
Bloglines
| Free, Web-Based News Aggregator
Created by Chris Pirillo of Lockergnome
and others. Bloglines is a new way to stay current with your favorite blogs.
Unlike other aggregators which require you to download and install software,
Bloglines runs on our servers and requires no installation. As an online RSS
aggregator, Bloglines tracks changes to blogs that you subscribe to, and remembers
which entries you've read. If you have your own blog, make it easy for your
readers to stay up to date with your blog. Add a Bloglines Subscribe button
and with one click they can subscribe to your blog. We've just added several
more Bloglines buttons to choose from. It is easy to include a subscription
link to Bloglines on your blog. Your readers will easily be able to stay current
with your blog without having to remember to visit it. The Bloglines crawler
includes the number of subscribers to your blog with each feed request, so you
will always know how many Bloglines subscribers you have. They provide several
different subscription icons.

Edward Swindelles'
ReadingEd.com
(latest entriest, RSS 1.0)
The personal web page of Ed Swindelles, focusing on web-related topics like
web standards, accessibility, CSS, etc. ReadingEd.com also features a unique
RSS file viewer that, through PHP and strict Javascript DOM programming, interactively
outputs RSS data. Ed is a computer science student at a small Rhode Island state
college and php and python programmer. He is the creator of the new Onyx
RSS , a php open source parser .
It uses object oriented programming and PHP's built in XML extension to quickly
and accurately parse ALL versions of RSS including 2.0. To keep the server load
low, feeds to be parsed can be kep in a mySQL database with the format implied
in the SQL statement with pages served up without any server-side processing.
A cron job and be set up to call your page with the PHP code in it at desired
intervals. ReadingEd.com is authored, by hand, in fully compliant XHTML 1.0
markup. Additionally, CSS2 compliance is achieved, and Section 508 accessibility
standards are met. Client-side, ReadingEd.com uses DOM-compliant Javascript
scripting for bringing content. Server-side, ReadingEd.com mainly utilizes the
PHP language integrated with a mySQL database. A small CMS handles all the posts
in the weblog, all of the related archving, and delivering of RSS feeds. He
will probably release this CMS for download eventually. Use the contact form
to let him know if you are interested in it. Email Ed.
