Is it against the TCs to provide an RSS file that is 99% the same as the one on the BBC but with geographical information added? On 21/07/05, Tony Hirst [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk on 21 July 2005 at 21:52 + wrote: it seems you have the same motivation as I had when

I think the separation of the original data from the annotation is attractive. Yes, the annotation would be almost meaningless without the original data, but it would save the annotation owner from republishing the original content and any considerations of legality, etc. In addition, it would

This sounds like it could be built on top of one of a social bookmarking sites. Then you could post your (geo)tags of BBC News stories to your social bookmarks account using the site's API...and others could use the same API to interrogate the site for the tags that have been associated with a

Excellent. http://www.webcoding.co.uk/backstage-v0.3.zip It now includes a configuration xml file where you can specify as many feeds as you wish to load. You can also include the delay time for items and feeds, application width, height, alwaysontop mode, to have window borders or not.

(reposting) I think the volume of data that is potentially in this would not be suitable for a social bookmarking system. Imagine geocoding every news article in every news rss feed out there (say 10, 000 feeds). As for the redistribution of the rss content, the separation has one huge benefit.

Hey People, Has anyone seen any good 3D scenes done in CSS/DHTML? I'm thinking up a news visualisation (with a very abstract/arty direction) trying to use client side technologies but no plugins and minimum image files (if any). I am very sleepy. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. Thanks Bye.

More thoughts: the annotation spec should include information about when the rss feed was crawled and also when the annotation stream was created. I have some data now (both your annotation and some rss files with matching guids) saved to disc, I'll post the results sometime this weekend. MattH
