XMLizations
Authored by Michael Pate on June 24th, 2003 at 11:14 AMLately there’s been a wave of standardization in this world. The hot weblogs are supporting various XMLizations, one proposed by Netscape, and one proposed by my own company, UserLand. There are sure to be other syndication formats that follow. The one thing they have in common is that our aggregation server, My.UserLand.Com, can read them. Once an hour our robot visits all the registered sites, we read their XML, and compile the articles into a database of stories. That’s called Aggregation, it’s the other side of syndication. - Dave Winer, June 24, 1999
Road map for a new format to be used for weblog syndication, archiving, and editing (i.e. as a wire format for tools like KungLog). (background) You can even help name it. I have supported this 100% from the moment I heard about it (when it was still in the “hey wouldn’t it be cool if…” stage). We’ve all collectively learned so much in the past few years from the real-world successes and failures of syndication formats, archive formats, wire formats, and all the rest of the tech-behind-the-experience of weblogging. Most of that wisdom has been collected on Sam’s wiki in the past week. I think the time is right to apply this collective wisdom, to get a fresh start, with a new format. - Mark Pilgrim, June 23, 2003
