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).
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).
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
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.
Thanks!

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..

<b>Description</b>
</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>
<p>Who should attend:</p><p>
</p>
<p> * Business Analysts<br />
* Data Analysts<br />
* Data Architects<br />
* Data Administrators<br />
* Data Administration Managers<br />
* Database Administrators (DBAs)<br />
* Data Modelers<br />
* Enterprise Data Architects<br />
* IT Managers<br />
* Metadata and Taxonomy Management Practitioners</p><p>
</p>
<p>You'll learn:</p><p>
</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
