Two export formats are available, standard RSS 1.0 and our "JSS/skyRSS" (Javascript Site Summary a/k/a Dynamic HTML news feed?), a lightweight Javascript code snippet that can be pasted into a web page served from an environment that has no web application server to process the RDF XML on the server side and format the RSS to HTML for the newsfeed client. JSS has a single line with a URI on the skyServer that returns Javascript document.write statements that build the HTML. This HTML could be a plain headlines feed (typical to RSS) or a timelines feed, building the familiar 2D structure to display multiple schedules over many intervals of time (a kind of skyLight). JSS could serve a discussion thread or individual articles in a Forum.
Every Event (and other timeLined data) needs a TZLID to decode the milliseconds of GMT to a display format (when needed on the server side).
Locale is the parameter to decide date, currency, etc. presentation formats.
The Time Zone Locations table needs a TZLID entry to provide a default presentation format for timeLined data. For skyBuilders browser clients, their Locale will override. For skyLightRDF news feeds (events feeds, etc.) the Event's native TZLID will control the presentation format and the local time used for the Event.
RDF/RSS (a great "container" format) will/may become the internal default mode for returning timeLines data to the skyServer itself (Derek). It could also figure in a rework of the timeLines client-side architecture.
FilmsintheSky.com could be a "web service" that provides tailored news feed aggregates (via XML-RPC filter parameter passing - Querystrings or Forms?) from user-built databases in a skyServer. Perfect for Film Schools and Film Festivals to NEFilm.com. Small organizations without web application servers could offer a JSS/skyRSS summary on their web pages. Larger organizations could run their own skyServers and exchange timeLined data via XML-RPC RSS feeds to/from other skyServers.
DTVGroup.com could package news feeds of Jeff Sauer's View, etc.
