examples of merged feeds/feed aggregation?

2005-12-20 Thread Michael Stillwell 

Can someone point me to some examples of merged feeds, or any
discussion of same?

I'm thinking of a situation where you have a.xml and b.xml and they
are merged into merge.xml, from which a.xml and b.xml are individually
recoverable.  (Or almost so.)

Is the link rel=via href=a.xml element the right way to do this?

(To motivate this question, a use-case would be where you wanted to
present someone's del.icio.us and flickr.com feeds as a single feed.)

No, that is for citing sources in an entry.

For merging feeds, you put the originating feed’s metadata in an
atom:source element inside the atom:entry.

You could take a look at the combined “use Perl” journals feed I
provide:

http://plasmasturm.org/feeds/planet-useperl/

I only copy as much metadata as is required to identify the
source feed there.

the atom:source element is the right way.
