The Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) is nearing completion, many of the issues that I pointed out in a previous article have settled down, and there is work being done on implementations and interoperability. Although the interoperability work will go on for years to come, we can put together an implementation and discuss the requirements the APP puts on you, the gotchas, and the ways we can optimize the service. If you've been following along with Restful Web columns at home, you won't be surprised that the implementation is in Python. In future articles we'll start building more complex services on top of this APP implementation.
When I was Utah's CIO, I wrote what I called the Web Services Manifesto to create a list of principles that I though all government agencies should follow whenever they created an online resource. Their goal: set the data free. The idea is that government can't ever hope to create all the useful information resources that people need. For eGoverment to move beyond the "here's a good way to search our data" stage, these applications need to be shared and mashed-up. I hoped that by creating Web services where XML was always available, we'd allow others to build the services they needed that we'd never even think to build. It took some time, but some governments are starting to do just that. David Stephenson points to a Jon Udell column about the DC government's Center for Innovation and Reform. The first link in the main body is Live Data Feeds. Very nice. Already, the first real mashup of this data has been built. Pick a location on the right hand side of the page and see where crimes have occurred, road repairs need done, or other service requests have been made. Talk about accountability! DCStat is doing just that. The Atom and RSS feeds summarize activity, and all the details - including latitude and longitude - are included in DCStat's own XML format. Following the initial launch of the service request feed, new ones will appear at roughly two-week intervals throughout the summer and fall. These feeds will contain raw operational data about crime, property, housing code enforcement, and business and liquor licensing.
"My recommendation to application developers today is to use Atom 1.0, not RSS, as the basis for your content syndication." "I don’t really care if RSS becomes a generic brand name for content syndication, just like “Kleenex” has for tissues. I think it is fine if engineers recommend to their directors, 'we should support RSS in our applications. Content syndication is what our customers want.'”
In a story he headlined Web 2.0 sews grassroots collaboration, CNET News.com's Martin Lamonica wrote: "Like others, Seely Brown expects to see a wide range of techniques common on consumer Web applications–including blogs, collaborative Web page editing through wikis, tagging and RSS (Really Simple Syndication)-based subscriptions–to bleed into mainstream business applications...".
