New Feature: Reviews
Blogware,
Nov 19, 2003
Those of you who have read my Resource Profiles paper will have noticed the bit where I talk about evaluative metadata. This is an announcement of the implimentation of such a feature in Blogware: "Blogware is one of the first (if not *the* first) blogging tools to support Reviews and Review metadata. Reviews are essentially article entries with a twist. Sitting at the core of this feature is support for the RVW module for RSS 2.0, an extension to the RSS specification that '...allows machine-readable reviews to be integrated into an RSS feed, thus allowing reviews to be automatically compiled from distributed sources.'" The article also links to last May's Review (RVW) Module for RSS 2.0. I have a similar prototype running, but alas, as it does not yet make the metadata available, it lags the Blogware implementation. How can this not come to the world of learning resources, where the need is even greater?
