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 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE nitf SYSTEM "http://www.nitf.org/IPTC/NITF/3.3/specification/ dtd/nitf-3-3.dtd"> <nitf change.date="June 10, 2005" change.time="19:30" version="-// IPTC//DTD NITF 3.3//EN"> <head> <title>Paid Notice: Deaths BLUMENTHAL, MARTIN</title> <meta content="dn010107" name="slug"/> <meta content="1" name="publication_day_of_month"/> <meta content="1" name="publication_month"/> <meta content="2007" name="publication_year"/> <meta content="Monday" name="publication_day_of_week"/> <meta content="Classified" name="dsk"/> <meta content="7" name="print_page_number"/> <meta content="B" name="print_section"/> <meta content="3" name="print_column"/> <meta content="Paid Death Notices" name="online_sections"/> <docdata> <doc-id id-string="1815718"/> <doc.copyright holder="The New York Times" year="2007"/> <identified-content> <person class="indexing_service">BLUMENTHAL, MARTIN</person> <classifier class="online_producer" type="types_of_material">Paid Death Notice</classifier> <classifier class="online_producer" type="taxonomic_classifier">Top/Classifieds/Paid Death Notices</ classifier> </identified-content> </docdata> <pubdata date.publication="20070101T000000" ex-ref="http:// query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html? res=9907E1DE1E3AF932A35752C0A9619C8B63" item-length="179" name="The New York Times" unit-of-measure="word"/> </head> <body> <body.head> <hedline> <hl1>Paid Notice: Deaths BLUMENTHAL, MARTIN</hl1> </hedline> </body.head> <body.content> <block class="lead_paragraph"> <p>BLUMENTHAL--Martin.
