GeoRSS
GeoRSS is still a very young standard to transmit a georeferencing using Web feeds.
GeoRSS can be used by extension of RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom.
Based on RSS, there are the following standards:
- GeoRSS Simple
- GeoRSS GML
GeoRSS Simple is a lightweight format that only basic geometries (point, line, box, polygon ) supports and covers the typical use cases for geo-referenced data.
GeoRSS GML goes back to the GML format of the Open Geospatial Consortium ( OGC ) and supports a wider range of geometry objects than GeoRSS Simple, notably coordinate systems other than WGS84.
There is also an encoding, which was introduced by the W3C, which, although partly outdated, but very widespread.
Examples
GeoRSS Simple by atomic:
xml version = " 1.0" encoding = "utf -8"? > < feed xmlns = " http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom " xmlns: GeoRSS = " http://www.georss.org/georss " >
xml version = " 1.0" encoding = "UTF -8"? >
< rss version = "2.0"
xmlns: GeoRSS = " http://www.georss.org/georss "
xmlns: gml = " http://www.opengis.net/gml " >
xml version = " 1.0"? >
xml-stylesheet href = "/ eqcenter / catalogs / rssxsl.php? feed = eqs7day - M5.xml " type = "text / xsl "
media = "screen"? >
< rss version = "2.0"
xmlns: geo = " # http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos "
xmlns: dc = " http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/ " >
