What is the
News Standards Summit?
NewsML, NITF,
PRISM, RSS, Atom, ICE, XMP, XHTML... As interest builds
for standardizing news dissemination, concern also grows
that specifications are being developed in isolation.
How do they fit? Where will they converge? How can developers
and users collaborate to identify gaps and overlaps
and ensure their systems will be able to interoperate
now and in the future? The news community began to find
the answers in a one-day News Standards
Summit that was held on 8 December 2003, in conjunction
with the IDEAlliance XML 2003 USA Conference. People
interested in these issues are invited to participate
in the second News Standards Summit, taking place on
24 May 2005, in conjunction with the IDEAlliance XTech
2005 Conference in Amsterdam, to assess advancements
in news standards and discuss new points of convergence.
The News Standards Summit brings together
major players--experts on news metadata standards as
well as commercial news providers, users, and aggregators.
Together, they will analyze the current state and future
expectations for news and publishing XML and metadata
efforts from both the content and processing model perspectives.
The goal is to increase understanding and to drive practical,
productive convergence.
