missed that - ah: http://www.mail-archive.com/backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk/msg00330.html and http://datamining.typepad.com/data_mining/2005/07/rss_annotation_.html I agree with the sentiment, and then some - if someone goes to the trouble of adding value to a story/feed, it would be good if those extras could be syndicated separately but identifiably too without others having to reinvent/reimplement the same technique/recreate the same annotation data. >Perhaps this is format that we want to develop >further? That sounds like an interesting (and perhaps useful) exercise...where to start? i tend to work back to generalised solutions from a couple of similar but different implementations of a thing...would it be fair to say that the annotation stream on its own would be relatively worthless without the original story it was annotating? or could you imageine it ever standing alone on its own terms? Back to the geotagged BBC stories, even something as simple as returning lat/long when passed a story ID would be v reusable... For example: http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/prototypes/archives/2005/05/a_map_of_the_ne.html http://boneill.ninjagrapefruit.com/wp-content/bbc/newmaps/ divines geo data and Duncan's http://backstage.min-data.co.uk/geotagged/ must have a script for locating stories So if someone can make story id/geotag info available, then I'm sure the lazy community (of which I count myself a part) would be v grateful :-) tony - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
