(X)querying RSS/Atom Feeds Extracted from News Web Sites: a Cocoon-based Portal
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Web is fastly becoming the predominant source for news and information for many people. In the past few years, a new delivery system has emerged in the form of RSS feeds. Such feeds normally provide a brief of a larger news posted on the Web. RSS feeds, collected to form “channels” according to some thematic criteria, can be accessed using Web browsers or specialized software called “news aggregators”. Even so, the amount of information available on the Web still exceeds human possibilities. In order to allow more selective and precise user choice, we developed a Web Cocoon-based platform which selects and publishes news gathered from various news Web sites. The selection is done submitting XQuery queries to a local repository and exploits the intrinsically semantic nature of RSS feeds.
