Metadata for Web Logs
From Janes' Blogosphere Technology This looks promising, tools and standards. I'll have to look at it in more detail. I've taken off the link to WMDI, that seems to have stalled, and added a link to this project.
I am proposing a core set of weblog metadata, based primarily on Dublin Core elements. Since other weblog metadata efforts are stalled or fractured, I'm trying to pull everything together with (hopefully) well written specs, functioning software, and web pages.I need your feedback. I want to start integrating this into Janes' Blogosphere ASAP, so that everyone who is marking up their blogs for integration is using some sort of standard we can all use.Here are the links:
- WMD: Core Weblog Metadata, the proposed core metadata elements, for describing the weblog itself, entries within the weblog and weblog authors ("creator", in Dublin Core terminology).
- QSM: Quick Structure Markup, a proposed standard for grouping and structuring metadata elements. The document also outlines the reasons why this type of group/structure mechanism is essential for describing metadata of any complexity.
- qsmparser.py: A python program designed next to sit next Mark Pilgrim's widely used rssparser. Not only does it understand QSM, it also understands (to varying degrees) WMDI, Blizg and GeoURL.org/ICBM metadata also.
- Template Rewriter: An online tool that recognizes many CMS templates and adds the appropriate markup for QSM/WMD.
