GeoRSS is a way of encoding geographic location in RSS (and Atom) feeds. BlogMatrix is interested in this because obviously we're doing a lot of work with integrating mapping and blogging (example).
The geometric shapes that can be described by GeoRSS are:
the meaning of which all should be fairly obvious. What isn't clear to me is what the logical rule for associating this information to the entry. In particular, here's my issue: let's say I have a map
like this and I want to put a bunch of different points on it (as described in the end notes). How can I say that one of the points represents the center point of the map I'm taking about and all the other points represent different points of interest
within this one entry. I note that their
Canoe Trip example just breaks up the the trip into multiple entries but this seems hacky to me -- i.e. you're forcing the user to break into multiple entries something that they'd naturally write as a single entry. And even if they did write it as a single entry and the CMS magically broke it up, the end result in a reader's feed reader showing the wrong thing.
This post is test the "link" extension, which lets this post be "officially" associated with some URI out there on the Internet. The idea is to mirror the functionality of del.icoi.us while obviously providing all the rest of the structured blogging power you are seeing here.
