I've a couple of comments on Harry's comments.
jim
Rather than use the Description directly, we can invoke the "details page"
using the URL captured by the parser.
We get all the information that is available for an event in the original fetch
of the list from the website. I don't see any reason to go to the expense of
another visit to the web site until we are sure we can't use the data we
already have. Also, if we do go back to the website for details, what we get
is more HTML which we may have to parse to get the data from it. It would
think it unlikely that we could use the details as formatted for the
BostonEventList website in our app.
I don't know if we can parse the HTML tags in the same way that we would parse
XML tags.
If the HTML is valid XML we can parse it; if it's not, then we can't be sure
what the HTML is and it may be hard to interpret.

Subject: [tssg-tech] Re: Parsing BostonEventsList with ROME
Hi,
This is a good discussion on some of the issues we
will face in constructing EventBoss. However, we need to keep in mind some
of the decisions we made in designing the app.
First, the 'communication' between the RSS module
and the UI/core module will rely on central data object (that Mike is
designing)
that encapsulates a BostonEventList event listing. This means the UI/core
will never have to deal with anything related to the RSS feed and give us the
advantage that the UI/core will be independent of the source of the event
information. It also means that it is the burden of the RSS module to
extract the information from the feed and make it available to the Adaptor
object which will build the BostonEventList object(s).
*************************************
I envision that the RSS module will extract all of the relevant data from each
entry in the RSS feed, and return a Collection of Event objects to the Adapter.
One datum in each entry will be the URL of the "details page". Like any other
datum, this URL can be persisted to the database, and it can be used to
populate the UI with a hyperlink. Low coupling between application modules
will be maintained.
At a minimum, an Event object may have the following fields: Tltle of the
event, URL of the "details page", and the elements that are extracted from the
Description. I'm not certain that the PubDate is relevant.
*************************************
Second, is how to deal with the details of the
event since Harry points out that many individual data are wrapped up in the
<description> element. I'm skeptical that we can use this directly
since it is not obvious how we can render this nicely on the handset (This is a
problem Rob is going to solve for us) without access to the an individual
datum. (This is a problem Rob is going to solve for us).
**************************************
Rather than use the Description directly, we can invoke the "details page"
using the URL captured by the parser.
**************************************
Harry's right, it will be "dirty work extracting the particulars of an Event
from
the <description>." but it may have to be done. (Actually, it
may be possible to take the content of the description element and parse it
with
the SAX parser.).
Some of this might be made easier by using the
Webview object that Julie mentioned to render (in the code Rob is building) the
actual description of the event (the description within the <description>
that Harry mentioned).since this is already formatted in HTML
****************************************
I don't know if we can parse the HTML tags in the same way that we would parse
XML tags.
****************************************
Hope these thoughts are helpful; comments,
suggestions, dissention always welcome.
Cheers,
Jim

Subject: [tssg-tech] Re: Parsing BostonEventsList with
ROME
Hello,
My ROME / JDOM application was used to grab the individual
URLs of all the entries in an RSS feed. Then, the URLs were given to the
application user as a List (as Titles / hyperlinks) along with the entire
Description. If the application user was interested in a particular Title
s/he could click-on the hyperlink, which activated a browser, and presented the
application user with "the details". We wouldn't be able to give the
application user the entire Description, but it appears that there is a
<description> tag embedded in the Description. We could give the app
user this abbreviated description. This model seems more realistic to me
than our current use-model. It will be dirty work extracting the
particulars of an Event from the <description>.
Does anyone else
have an opinion on this subject?

Harry, this is GREAT!! The UI/Core team can use it to
determine what we have to work with for the
display.

Hello,
This is the
results of running BostonEventsList.com through my parser using ROME
and
JDOM.
My app assigns a sequential uid # to each entry. It
extracts the Title. It extracts the URL. It extracts the
PubDate (not the event date). Finally, it extracts the
Description. The Description has all of the info that we are
interested in, so we would have to extract this info from the
description with our own custom software. I called each event a
FeedEntryRecord. There are 9 events in today's
BostonEventsList..

</div>
<p>We
were given an imperative from our business leaders to provide a
friendlier and more collaborative front end on our metadata, in order
to
aid in adoption of the Enterprise Data Warehouse and engage business
SMEs in ownership of data definitions. The set of driving requirements
-- ease of navigation, search, and ability for end users to add
annotations, comments, and articles that transcend discrete data
elements or subject areas - lent themselves to a wiki. This in turn led
us to MediaWiki and the rich and diverse array of add-ons developed by
the Open Source community, particularly its semantic
extensions.</p><p>

<p>You'll

</p>
<p>
* How we programatically load and refresh information from our
structured metadata store (in a relational database) into the wiki<br

* How our Enterprise Logical Data Model and
associated vocabularies provide a taxonomy under which to organize
metadata for search and business context<br
/>
* How we exploited the semantic extensions
to meta-tag content into business concepts and auto-generate pages in
the wiki<br />
* How the wiki encourages
refinement of data definitions and contribution of knowledge about
analytical best practices<br />
* What the
future may hold given the versatility and power of open source tools to
create dynamic, extensible and cost-effective metadata
