Looks good - but I might have to hack the Python RSS library I am
using to get the GUID tag out of it :-) I'll have a go
Davy - yes, I think there is a real opportunity here for something.
I'm imagining a

server, I bet we could trivially mod it to work for FAS data. If we

Hi
a couple of thoughts
The use of Geotagging could be more useful if the tags were split
according to the location of the author, location of the central story
elements and the location where the story was published. For example, a
story about Mugabe (location tag Zimbabwae), is filed
from
I've been thinking about servers wrt annotations. Why wouldn't you
just have a server that takes a query with a guid and produces an
annotation? I thin kthere is a really good reason for not going for
this at the first cut: simplicity. If everyone out htere who is
providing meta data for rss feeds

The whole idea sounds great. I have plans to expose some of the Mood
News data
Is it against the TCs to provide an RSS file that is 99% the same as
the one on the BBC but with geographical information added?

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

More thoughts: the annotation spec should include information about when the
rss feed was crawled and also when the annotation stream was created.
I have some data now (both your annotation and some rss files with
matching guids) saved to disc, I'll post the results sometime this
weekend.

Several sites are plotting news stories on Gmaps I beleive (anyone using
yahoomaps yet?) and as a result generating geo info for news stories. Lazy
as I am, is anyone syndicating this geo info indexed/searchable by BBC
news story ID?
thanks

Hi,
I could output geotagged news stories in xml if you like, but it would
mean setting something up to actually work out where they are on a
regular basis (at the moment the script I made to do it is only
manual), although that is planned for another prototype I am in the
middle of making..
Tony, it seems you have the same motivation as I had when I mailed this list
about RSS Annotation Streams! Perhaps this is format that we want to develop
further?
