Dear colleagues, I wrote a note about full validation of Atom feeds containing extensions such as OpenSearch and Google Calendar. Hisashi Miyashita, my co-author, implemented an NVDL validator for such validaiton. Abstract The RELAX NG schema in RFC 4287 (The Atom Syndication Format) does not provide full validation of Atom feeds containing extensions. Rather, this schema skips extension elements and attributes, even when extension elements further contain Atom feeds or entries. This document shows that ISO/IEC 19757-4 Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language (NVDL for short) allows full validation of atom feeds containing extensions. NVDL decomposes atom feeds containing extensions into (1) extension-free atom and (2) extensions so that (1) and (2) are validated separately. As an example, an NVDL script for Google Calendar is presented. This NVDL script reveals validation errors of atom entries embedded in Google Calendar extension elements. This note is available at: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eb2m-mrt/atomextensions/atomextensions.html The validator is available at: http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~eb2m-mrt/nvdl/SnRNV-1.0.zip Cheers, -- MURATA Makoto (FAMILY Given) <EB2M-MRT@a...> [Date Prev] | [Thread Prev] | [Thread Next] | [Date Next] -- [Date Index] | [Thread Index] |
