Here's an XSLT (version tweak of Dan Connolly's one in http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd), which turns a slightly amended version of the DCMI homepage into something close to the right form of RSS1. I'm cc:'ing [email protected] (a public mail archive) so the files can be pointed to later. This would all be easier if I actually knew XSLT :)
Attachments: dc.html (a tweaked version of the homepage) dc2rss1.xsl (altered version of DanC's XSLT) _out.rss (sample output, showing what's done and what's missing) To make this work, the DCMI homepage needs some minor ammendments:1. each news item needs a permalink pointer to its entry in the news archive (this is worthwhile anyway, so people can share links to DCMI news). In my sample, I've flagged this with a 'rel="details' attribute, to make it easy to extract the URI from that link. I added this to each item:
<div class="permalink">(<a rel="details" href="/news/2008/#dcmi-news-20080901-03">#permalink</a>)</div>
...but you could do anything really, so long as there is a predictable HTML markup containing the permalink URI that we need for the feed.
2. The date gets wrapped in <span class="date">2008-09-01</span> so we can extract it more easily.
There may be fashionable markup idioms for both of these (microformats etc. - eg. http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom), so perhaps we don't want to change anything yet. But then again these changes ought to be enough to autogenerate RSS1, which could save some time for you. If you care to make the edits in (1.) and (2.) I think we can have RSS1 generated fairly easily, although to put this into production would require having an XSLT engine in the pipeline somewhere. You could run this locally, or we could use a Web-based one such as that at W3C.

TODO
- add pointer to RDF/RSS version from home page
- finish upgrading this to RC1 version (danbri)

A related document, "Notes on the DC-DS-XML XML Format", describes the development of the format and its relationship to the DCMI Recommendation "Guidelines for implementing Dublin Core in XML" of April 2003. The Proposed Recommendation supports the W3C specification Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages (GRDDL) in the form of an XSLT transform for extracting RDF triples from instances of metadata in the DC-DS-XML format. The specification includes 21 examples together with their equivalent representations in the DC-Text and RDF/XML syntaxes. A W3C XML Schema for the DC-DS-XML format is provided. Interested members of the public are invited to post comments to the DC-ARCHITECTURE mailing list, including [Public Comment] in the subject line.
