All Points Blog shares the good news that Safe Software, makers of FME, will support GeoRSS in their next release. From the press release: "FME's GeoRSS reader and writer support both RSS and Atom feeds, and all of the three current GeoRSS standards for encoding geographical data in a feed: World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Geo, GeoRSS Simple and GeoRSS GML Profile. Using FME's GeoRSS reader, regularly updated information provided by any geo-tagged feed becomes just another data source to FME, enabling users to work with the data quickly and easily."

GeoRSS: The Simplest Possible "Geo" for the Web 2 comments

Here's an informative article hosted on GeoPlace written by Raj Singh, director of Interoperability Programs at the Open Geospatial Consortium, named GeoRSS: The Simplest Possible “Geo” for the Web. From the article: "GeoRSS developers are hoping that big players like Yahoo and Microsoft will soon provide GeoRSS support. The Internet and the Web are built on standards, and GeoRSS, particularly the Pro version, offers an elemental standards platform that will enable applications to exploit reliable, publicly available, data rich services and content. These might be proprietary or non-proprietary, but if they support the Pro version of GeoRSS, they will maximize the “network effect” of growing value that comes with large-scale, open systems. The High Earth Orbit blog adds GeoRSS support to Ruby on Rails mapping.
Technology: GeoRSS Version 1.0 Released 2 comments
[+]
The GeoRSS mailing list announced the release of the GeoRSS specifications version 1.0. From the website: "At this point we have completed work on two encodings which we are calling GeoRSS GML and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS GML is a formal GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features than Simple, notably coordinate reference systems other than WGS84 latitude/longitude. It is designed for use with Atom 1.0, RSS 2.0 and RSS 1.0, although it can be used just as easily in non-RSS XML encodings. GeoRSS Simple has greater brevity, but also has limited extensibility. It can be used in all the same ways and places as GeoRSS GML."
