It is now five years since the completion of the NewsML [1] standard and the International Press Telecommunications Council [3] is hard at work on NewsML 2. In November 2004 we published the Requirements for NewsML 2 [2] and are now glad to announce the publication of the first public Working Drafts of:
- the NewsML 2 Architecture Model [2] - the NewsML 2 Architecture Technical Specification [2] We welcome comments on these documents and will study them carefully though we do not have the resources to provide feedback on each comment received. The Working Drafts contain a number of features, issues and questions closely related to the work of the Atom WG. These include the representation of alternative content in news items, the representation of ordered, unordered and alternative collection of news items, the standardization of news-related metadata, and many other hot subjects. We welcome comments on these and other issues. To submit and/or discuss general comments, please use the NewsML 2 mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newsml-2/ To minimise spam, we require that people wishing to send messages join the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] http://www.newsml.org/ [2] http://www.iptc.org/dev/ [3] http://www.iptc.org/ Laurent Le Meur IPTC, News Architecture WP chair AFP, Medialab manager -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This e-mail, and any file transmitted with it, is confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.
