Calendar Feeds

In this blog, I started to talk about the evolution of subscription beyond news.  Here is a great example of how this might work.  This site describes the RDF Calendar format.  It provides a few examples, (I have added a few as well), of why you migt want to subscribe to a calendar, and includes ToDo list examples:

1. Subscribe to you travel itinery and have the events automatically added to your calendar, flight times etc, and automatically updated
2. Subscribe to a list of bugs which flow into your todo list
3. Subscribe to an event schedule, for example football matches
4. Subscribe to a favorite TV show

More information is available here

Some of the scenarios are listed below:

• EventDiscovery
• CalendarScraping
• TravelTools, PathCross
• CalendarSynchronization
• ScheduleAnimation
• OpeningHoursUseCase
• AnnounceOMatic
• HTML views of calendars (see datebook2html.xsl in telagent for example)

One more example of the Personal Information Disaster that is the web today!
