	List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Alexandre Leroux-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi list, I'm new to this list. I have a fairly simple question but I haven't been able to find an answer on the GeoRSS website, Wikipedia or elsewhere. Is there a list of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? I know many tools can display GeoRSS items on a webmap, but are there GeoRSS clients that can automatically filter RSS items based on geographic criteria (e.g. buffers, polygons, etc)? I want an easy to use client that I can recommend for use by the general public. Better if the client is open source, but free can be an alternative I guess. I'm away for a few days but will sum up answers and share back if appropriate. Thanks a lot! Alex http://slashgeo.org -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.

Does this mean there is no such GeoRSS clients?! If true, then there's still a lot of work to do before GeoRSS becomes mainstream! Have a great day! :-) Alex -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.

	Re: List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Raj Singh-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Geographic filtering isn't part of any RSS subscription specification, so it's doubtful that any client could do something like this since no servers would understand the request. This would obviously be a very valuable feature, and it could be described in a "GeoRSS Publication" specification, but no such thing exists today. --- Raj On Feb 18, at 2:32 PM, Alexandre Leroux wrote: > > Hi list, > > I'm new to this list.

	Re: List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Alexandre Leroux-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Thanks a lot Raj, I understand that at the moment because of the specification itself, this can't be done server-side. But once the GeoRSS items are retrieved by the client, they can be geographically filtered on the client-side - that's what I was looking for. It seems, to my surprise, that no GeoRSS clients offer this feature yet... Thanks Raj and have a great day! Alex -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.

Isn't this just a case of someone building a smart aggregator? How is this any different than a Technorati search which itself can be viewed as an RSS feed? e.g. http://technorati.com/search/italy?language=n vs. http://feeds.technorati.com/search/italy?language=n Someone can build an aggregation engine that gets seeded with GeoRSS feeds (which could be discovered by crawling or could be manually entered) and that provides a means of specifying a filter. The output itself would then be a constrained GeoRSS feed that matches the criteria. Maybe it would be nice to have a spec for this, but why not build an instance or two before thinking about a spec?

OpenSearch is a way of defining how you find the URL to subscribe to based on a search -- that search can optionally have terms, or could have just a bounding box.

It is up to the client to support GeoRSS for output and OpenSearch for filtering. And then put the results on the map. Pat.

	Re: List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Raj Singh-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The GeoRSS publication spec could be very short. It might basically say, "if you have a GeoRSS feed, support OpenSearch Geo." There would be some details to add, but that's generally it. I'm going on memory, but I think AtomPub talks about using URL templating as one way of publishing collections, which plays well with OpenSearch, but there's no strong guidance. I used to have an implementation of GeoRSS with spatial bbox search, but my server was decommissioned last year. Maybe I'll try to get that back online tonight. --- Raj On Feb 23, at 4:44 PM, Christopher Schmidt wrote: > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 04:13:32PM -0500, Raj Singh wrote: >> But is OpenSearch Geo part of any RSS subscription spec?

Search is not covered in RFC 5023, though feed paging is. There has been discussion on atom-syntax about a link rel="search". With such a thing, you'd include a link to an opensearch description resource from any Atom feed or collection. http://www.imc.org/atom-syntax/mail-archive/msg20742.html For example: <feed> <link rel="self" href="http://example.com/collection" type="application/atom+xml" /> <link rel="search" href="http://example.com/collection/search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" /> ... </feed> > > > I used to have an implementation of GeoRSS with spatial bbox search, > but my server was decommissioned last year.

Once you go to the specific collection page, the html header would contain a link to the OpenSearch description document. I also like what Sean is proposing... I might add that to our feeds :) Pat.

	List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Alexandre Leroux-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi list, I'm new to this list. I have a fairly simple question but I haven't been able to find an answer on the GeoRSS website, Wikipedia or elsewhere. Is there a list of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? I know many tools can display GeoRSS items on a webmap, but are there GeoRSS clients that can automatically filter RSS items based on geographic criteria (e.g. buffers, polygons, etc)? I want an easy to use client that I can recommend for use by the general public. Better if the client is open source, but free can be an alternative I guess. I'm away for a few days but will sum up answers and share back if appropriate. Thanks a lot! Alex http://slashgeo.org -- Alexandre Leroux, M.Sc., Ing.

	Re: List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Raj Singh-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Geographic filtering isn't part of any RSS subscription specification, so it's doubtful that any client could do something like this since no servers would understand the request.

Isn't this just a case of someone building a smart aggregator? How is this any different than a Technorati search which itself can be viewed as an RSS feed? e.g. http://technorati.com/search/italy?language=n vs. http://feeds.technorati.com/search/italy?language=n Someone can build an aggregation engine that gets seeded with GeoRSS feeds (which could be discovered by crawling or could be manually entered) and that provides a means of specifying a filter. The output itself would then be a constrained GeoRSS feed that matches the criteria. Maybe it would be nice to have a spec for this, but why not build an instance or two before thinking about a spec?

	Re: List of 'advanced' GeoRSS clients? by Raj Singh-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message The GeoRSS publication spec could be very short. It might basically say, "if you have a GeoRSS feed, support OpenSearch Geo." There would be some details to add, but that's generally it. I'm going on memory, but I think AtomPub talks about using URL templating as one way of publishing collections, which plays well with OpenSearch, but there's no strong guidance. I used to have an implementation of GeoRSS with spatial bbox search, but my server was decommissioned last year. Maybe I'll try to get that back online tonight. --- Raj On Feb 23, at 4:44 PM, Christopher Schmidt wrote: > On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 04:13:32PM -0500, Raj Singh wrote: >> But is OpenSearch Geo part of any RSS subscription spec?

Search is not covered in RFC 5023, though feed paging is. There has been discussion on atom-syntax about a link rel="search". With such a thing, you'd include a link to an opensearch description resource from any Atom feed or collection. http://www.imc.org/atom-syntax/mail-archive/msg20742.html For example: <feed> <link rel="self" href="http://example.com/collection" type="application/atom+xml" /> <link rel="search" href="http://example.com/collection/search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" /> ... </feed> > > > I used to have an implementation of GeoRSS with spatial bbox search, > but my server was decommissioned last year.

Once you go to the specific collection page, the html header would contain a link to the OpenSearch description document. I also like what Sean is proposing... I might add that to our feeds :) Pat.
