Abstract

RSS (Really Simple Syndication), an XML-based format for sharing and distributing web content to the RSS reader has actively been used for retrieving the latest update's weblogs information among the bloggers in blogosphere environment. However, RSS aggregators that are used to feed the RSS web-contained from the different formats have lead to the issues of RSS syndication confusion. Although their ability to aggregate the latest updated weblogs in timely manner, weblogs that are published in chronological order from multiple sites with different RSS syndication format have lead to ambiguity problem, resulting an uncategorized and irrelevancy of aggregated result. In this paper, a synthetic analyzer named PheRSS is presented. PheRSS is able to collect the different syndication format to achieve a broader set of metadata. With the rules and constraints applied, a more relevant set of data based on user interest can be obtained. The experiment is done to evaluate the accuracy of the result. It is founded that the result achieved better accuracy comparing to Feed Demon.
