14.7.1.The Virtuoso Blogging Application
Blogs provide their authors with a location on the Internet or Intranet to receive their thoughts, experiences, idea, or simply anything they have a desire to write about. For this most part, audience is neither expected nor required, however comments and feedback are common place.
Blogs originated as a form of public diary. Their exploitation has seen them as a useful tool for finding personal reviews to products, situations or general news as guidance for their readers. These can be viewed quicker and more informative than regular journalism.
Corporate blogs, or use of blogging can be a valuable source of company information propagation. Members of the company can blog about the activities or findings with no particular audience in mind. This provides a continual journal or account of the company's undertakings that is really self-documenting for every other employee how they fit into the overall picture. Over time a searchable knowledge base will unravel itself, people may need information about a product or some aspect of internal support that took place possibly years prior, otherwise forgotten, stored within the blog.
Virtuoso implements the three major APIs for blogging which makes instantly attractive to any standard blog application. Virtuoso provides blog authoring applications of its own. On a personal level, your blogs can be stored or exposed using the most appropriate server, authored using the most appealing client and everything held in right places by Virtuoso. On a community level you get the same but scaled upwards for each member individually, and further more, centrally. Virtuoso can generate and automatically maintain a blog site specially for blog collaboration within a community suitable for a corporate need. All members are listed on the front page and have the opportunity to contribute (publish) to the main blog view. All blogs are fully free text searchable - a simple exploit of the Virtuoso free-text engine.
Virtuoso can provide the blog client, server or relay for blogs or any RSS or XML-feed based channel or information.
Figure14.50.Virtuoso Blogging Conceptual Diagram
Syndication to your Blog - RSS & RDF
The default Virtuoso blog implementation maintains a "blog/gems" subdirectory for each blog account. Within this is an RDF file and an RSS file. These provide direct access to the blog information in XML. Other bloggers or news syndicators can read just the site contents, apart from the web interface that Virtuoso provides, potentially applying an XSLT transformations suitable to their application or circumstance, for example reading the blog from a PDA or mobile device.
Rich Site Summary (RSS) is a lightweight XML format designed for sharing headlines and other Web content. Think of it as a distributable "What's New" for your site. Each RSS text file contains both static information about your site, plus dynamic information about your new blog entries. Each entry is defined by an <item> tag, which contains a headline TITLE, URL, and DESCRIPTION. For example:
... <item> <title>RSS Resources</title> <link>http://www.webreference.com/authoring/languages/xml/rss/</link> <description>Defined in XML, the Rich Site Summary (RSS) format has quietly become a dominant format for distributing headlines on the Web. Our list of links gives you the tools, tips and tutorials you need to get started using RSS. 0323</description> </item> ...
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) integrates a variety of applications from library catalogs and world-wide directories to syndication and aggregation of news, software, and content to personal collections of music, photos, and events using XML as an interchange syntax. The RDF specifications provide a lightweight ontology system to support the exchange of knowledge on the Web.
Channels - OCS & OPML
The default Virtuoso blog implementation maintains a "blog/gems" subdirectory for each blog account. Within this are an OCS file and an OPML file. Both files provide an outline or hierarchical list of RSS feeds linked to the blog account in these two popular formats designed for channel/list exchange. The files are variably accessible following:
http://virtserv/DAV/myaccount/blog/gems/index.ocs http://virtserv/DAV/myaccount/blog/gems/index.opml
Open Content Syndication (OCS), an application of XML, is an RDF description of all external RSS feeds linked to the blog site.
The OCS Directory format is designed to enable channel listings to be constructed for use by portal sites, client based headline software and other similar applications.
Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) is a very simple XML format for storing information in outline format. XML being inherently hierarchical, OPML constrains XML so that a wide variety of applications can build in OPML support with the comfort of knowing it will work with any other OPML tool. Type of information stored in such hierarchies are web browser bookmarks, web directories, collaborative outlines, song playlists, and even web-site content, OPML is a great balance between the wide open freedom of raw XML and the feeling of security of a formal vocabulary.
The OCS RDF file is an XML of nested <rdf:descriptions> tags loosely defined as follows:
<rdf:RDF>
<rdf:description>
This contains a description of this RDF originator
<rdf:description>
Description of a link RSS blog or news feed
<rdf:description>
Description of the URL containing the above described
RSS feed and details about its format, update frequency
and when the link for established.
</rdf:description>
</rdf:description>
more RSS descriptions may follow, one for each
linked.
</rdf:description>
</rdf:RDF>
Here is an example of the contents of the index.ocs file describing a single linked RSS news feed.
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:ocs="http://InternetAlchemy.org/ocs/directory#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core#">
<rdf:description about="">
<dc:title>My Blog</dc:title>
<dc:creator>blog@openlinksw.com</dc:creator>
<dc:description />
<rdf:description about="http://msdn.microsoft.com/">
<dc:title>MSDN Just Published</dc:title>
<dc:creator />
<dc:description />

<dc:image />
<rdf:description about="http://msdn.microsoft.com/rss.xml">

<ocs:updateFrequency>1</ocs:updateFrequency>
<ocs:updateBase>1999-05-30T00:00</ocs:updateBase>
</rdf:description>
</rdf:description>
</rdf:RDF>
The OPML file is more simple, the corresponding index.opml would be as follows:
<opml>
<body>
<outline
title="MSDN Just Published"
htmlUrl="http://msdn.microsoft.com/"
xmlUrl="http://msdn.microsoft.com/rss.xml" />
more outline tags for each description...
</body>
</opml>
Personal Blog Sites
Every WebDAV account with a home directory has the option to create a default personal blog site. The default blog pages contains a call to a function that produces XML data containing a list of messages, calendar for archive navigation and channels that the owner has subscribed to. This blog directory and pages are generated upon initial sign-in of the user. Each WebDAV account with a blog directory will thus have the following:
http://<host:port>/DAV/<uname>/blog/
containing the following:
| index.vspx - The default blog home page using VSPX controls. |
| gems/rss.xml - The RSS v2.0 file presenting the user's blog data. |
| gems/rss92.xml - The RSS v0.92 file presenting the user's blog data. |
| gems/rss91.xml - The RSS v0.91 file presenting the user's blog data. |
| gems/index.rdf - the user's blog data in RDF format. |
| gems/index.ocs - the user's channels represented in OCS format. |
| gems/rsd.xml - Really Simple Discovery file for the blog. This helps client software to find the services needed to read, edit, post etc. |
| gems/atom.xml - Atom feed file. It's similar to the RSS file but in different format. |
| gems/backlog.xml - RSS v2.0 file containing all posts in user's blog. |
| gems/foaf.xml - 'Friend Of Friend' file. This is to provide in a machine-processable format, about blogger, his/she interests, location, friends etc. |
| gems/index.opml - the user's channels represented in OPML format. |
| gems/ocs.xml - the user's channels represented in OCS format. |
| gems/opml.xml - the user's channels represented in OPML format. |
| comments.vsp - a VSP page for posting a comment to the user's blog. |
| default.xsl - an XSL-T style sheet providing the default HTML view of the blog XML data. |
| comments.vsp - pop-up for blog comments (obsoleted) |
| default.css - CSS for pages |
| main.xsl - VSPX controls for index.vspx |
| calendar.xsl - calendar control |
| trackback.xsl - pop-up for trackbacks (obsoleted) |
| rss_feeds/ - folder containing channel RSS feeds in XML format |
The rss.xml , index.rdf , index.ocs files are dynamic SQL-XML
resources, they are not static files and must not be deleted. Their
content is generated in real-time per request.
Blog users may edit the default.xsl in order to change the
appearance of the default page of their Blog.
Example14.52.Default blog home (index.vspx) page
The following is source of default blog home page. It's built using a VSPX and macro expansion. All page components are represented with <vm:* /> this makes page more simpler and allows users to change it's appearance using custom VSPX components.
