Richer RSS Feeds at Ingenta

Good news from Leigh Dodds at ingenta:

I released a couple of tweaks to the IngentaConnect RSS feeds recently. The most notable addition being the inclusion of foaf:maker properties to associate authors with articles, and inclusion of authors as foaf:Person resources. I’ve added these alongside the existing dc:creator properties to ensure that Dublin Core aware aggregators can still do something useful with the extra metadata.

He does note room for feature requests for your favorite feed reader though:

I’m not yet aware of any feed readers that process FOAF, or PRISM for that matter.

I’m more interested, however, in bringing this sort of feed reading into the citation management universe. Ingenta’s feeds are now rich enough for citation-ready metadata.

Thanks Leigh!
