Migration 1.0 to 1.1

The RSS-CB specifications were advanced to version 1.1 in June 2007. Although the structure of RSS-CB feeds is changed to a substantial degree, migrating from one to the other should not prove too difficult. Please follow these steps to migrate from RSS-CB 1.0 to 1.1. (If you have no RSS-CB 1.0 feeds, you can ignore this page.)

• Step 1: Change all <cb:application> elements to one of the <cb:event>, <cb:news> etc. elements, depending on the value of <cb:application>.

Before:

<cb:application>speech</cb:application>

After:

<cb:speech>

• Step 2: Put the closing tag for the element in step 1 after all of the RSS-CB elements.

Before:

<cb:application>speech</cb:application>
<cb:simpleTitle>title</cb:simpleTitle>
<cb:occurrenceDate>2007-01-02T19:20:00+05:00</cb:occurrenceDate>

After:

<cb:speech>
  <cb:simpleTitle>title</cb:simpleTitle>
  <cb:occurrenceDate>2007-01-02T19:20:00+05:00</cb:occurrenceDate>
</cb:speech>

• Step 3: Ensure that any <dc> or <dcterms> elements are outside the cb application element.

Yes!
