Structured Blogging

Posted by Paul Miller at December 14, 2005 08:55 AM

Dick Hardt, CEO of sxip Identity and subject of our very first podcast, draws my attention to the new Structured Blogging initiative.

“Structured Blogging is a way to get more information on the web in a way that's more usable. You can enter information in this form and it'll get published on your blog like a normal entry, but it will also be published in a machine-readable format so that other services can read and understand it.

Think of structured blogging as RSS for your information. Now any kind of data - events, reviews, classified ads - can be represented in your blog.”

I shall definitely be taking a closer look, as it sounds potentially powerful... ...and it works with Movable Type, the technology behind this blog.

At the same time as structured blogging (which is essentially 'fill in the blanks' blogging of job offers, film reviews, etc) a bunch of companies said that they would support feedmesh - a pooling of RSS and XML feeds. This will allow them each to provide even better services atop the feeds. (Assuming they don't all sit back and let the others do the work of feed provision.) PubSub was very active in both initiatives.
