Davis Wed, 03 Feb 2010 10:23:43 +0000 http://joss.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/?p=2009#comment-6571 Hi Joss FWIW I just quickly hacked the RSS2 Export module on our little EP repo to insert the EPrint Abstract in RSS/Channel/Item/Description, instead of a Citation. Just change Line 116 in eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Export/RSS2.pm to: EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8( $eprint->render_value("abstract")))); (Given that EPrints already puts a Citation in RSS/Channel/Item/Title this actually seems sensible,unless I'm missing something!) Now see e.g. http://pubs.ulcc.ac.uk/cgi/exportview/year/2009/RSS2/2009.xml Not sure if one needs instead/as well to hack cgi/latest_tool for your purposes, but it will be something similar. As Les suggested, for more serious metadata exchanges, some more thought about the XML mappings would be necessary, but this seems to work for now. Hi Joss

FWIW I just quickly hacked the RSS2 Export module on our little EP repo to insert the EPrint Abstract in RSS/Channel/Item/Description, instead of a Citation.

Just change Line 116 in eprints3/perl_lib/EPrints/Plugin/Export/RSS2.pm to:

EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8( $eprint->render_value(“abstract”))));

(Given that EPrints already puts a Citation in RSS/Channel/Item/Title this actually seems sensible,unless I’m missing something!)

Now see e.g. http://pubs.ulcc.ac.uk/cgi/exportview/year/2009/RSS2/2009.xml

Not sure if one needs instead/as well to hack cgi/latest_tool for your purposes, but it will be something similar.

As Les suggested, for more serious metadata exchanges, some more thought about the XML mappings would be necessary, but this seems to work for now.

It could even be curated by moderating each feed item before it is published on WordPress - an option that FeedWordPress offers.

I wonder whether it's not better to start from a comprehensive JSON or XML feed (by changing the parameter to the latest_tool).
