As far as I can tell, the feeds don't contain any location information, even though
the web site does have a place for each memory.

how come the feeds don't contain the location information (at least, I can't find it). Surely this would
be a big win for building applications on it.

Thanks for the comments. Actually, this is also my field and I was just

semantic tagging based bootstrapping. My current interests, however,

Some rss feeds provide a ttl tag (time to live) which indicates how
long you can
go without rescanning the feed. Would it be possible for bbc news to add this

Reading this list, there is great interest in the integration of backstage
data with space - that is to say geocoding and mapping applications.
I wonder if anyone has thought of mixing in temporal analysis into this,
or doing some sort of temporal analysis with no spacial stuff at all.
For example
This is great - I have been looking for exactly the same thing to deal
with UK data.
Can you comment on the accuracy of the conversion? My understanding is that
the operation (at least as described in OS literature) is an iterative
one, so precision may
well be dependant on cpu time.

Attached is a very early analysis of volume of new rss items over time (with

is quite a
bit of duplicated data, e.g. uk edition, world edition, etc.).
To do this I keep a cache of already seen items and just count the new

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 driv
