Finally Atom

Why We Need Atom Now

Tim Bray suggests the Atom format draft is very nearly ready for full IETF submission, and describes two good reasons Why We Need Atom Now - duplicate entry recognition by aggregators and easy feed subscription.

Atom Publishing Protocol (Basic)

New draft spec: The Atom Publishing Protocol (Basic).

Atom Publishing Protocol - new draft spec

New draft available of the Protocol formerly known as the Atom API: draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-03.txt Joe Gregorio (editor, along with Robert Sayre) also has xml version and diffs from the previous draft.

Collections are in:

An Atom collection is a set of items all of the same type ("members" of the collection), where the "type" may be, for example: Atom entry, category, template, "simple resource", or any other classification of web resource.

Doesn't look like the protocol's going to be finished this month...

RSS Feed

XML::Atom::SimpleFeed

XML-Atom-SimpleFeed (CPAN) is a general-purpose Perl module for quickly generating valid Atom feeds, in the style of XML::RSS for RSS.

Scripting for the Semantic Web

Workshop on Scripting for the Semantic Web

"SFSW" - focussing on languages such as Python, PHP, Perl, Ruby, JavaScript, ASP, JSP, ActionScript and ColdFusion. May 30, 2005, Heraklion, Greece. Co-located with 2nd European Semantic Web Conference (ESWC2005).
Atom is listed under Topics of Interest. Call for Papers (PDF).

The workshop aims to bring together for the first time developers of the RDF base infrastructure for scripting languages with practitioners building applications using these languages. The goal of the workshop is to give an overview of the current support for Semantic Web technologies within scripting languages, to showcase innovative Semantic Web applications relying on these languages.
