Hi,

My name is Sashi Gangaraju.

I am trying to display a list of events from a file which is in NITF
( News Industry Text Format ).

I am unable to figure out how to convert this file into a format which
can be read and understood by Simile Timeline so that I can display
the list of things in that particular file on the timeline.


Could you please let me know how to convert these files in simile
timeline xml or json format.


I am attaching an NITF sample file.


Thanks a lot.


Regards,
Sashi G





Here is the NITF xml file
