Hi all,
I've been talking to Nick Day about the issues he's been having with
CMLRSS, i.e. the feed itself is problematically large.
I was wondering about the possibility of moving CMLRSS to an enclosure
based approach, so instead of embedding the CML we'd have something like: -
<item>
<title>NSC 383504</title>
<link>http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/bitstream/1810/183614</link>
<description>Molecule id 383504 from the NSC small molecules
collection</description>
<enclosure
url="http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/bitstream/1810/183614/2/nsc383504_post-mopac.cml";
length="" type="chemical/x-cml"/>
<pubDate>2007-05-24</pubDate>
</item>
I think this way will be easier for clients and servers alike.
If the link resolves to an RDF description or a GRDDL-able HTML page you
could retrieve additional metadata as well.
Any thoughts? How many projects would this change affect? Could / should
we allow both solutions in the future?
Best regards,
jim
