Not that I'm aware of, Mia, although Mike Ellis wrote something ages ago about playing with a Google Search Appliance. I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who has done anything with the Maritime Museum feeds. There's also a YQL interface to this data. Europeana did use the feeds to harvest records for their index.

Did anyone ever end up writing code to do good things with a google mini? Because now I’ve got one to play with, and we’re not doing much with it…

Hi Jim.

I came across you blog through mashedupmuseum. I thought you might find my latest post interesting. I actually used the NMM OpenSearch feeds for my experiments several times.

Cheers

Hey Jim,

thanks for the link and also the info – looking really cool. Frankie and Mia and I were talking about using the GSA / GM for this kind of stuff. I have access to a full GSA at work for my own evil doings, so was going to work up ways in which it could deliver an API-like set of search results, probably OpenSearchy or whatever. Anyway, I’ll watch this thread with interest and punt anything that might be useful to you.

Meanwhile (plug) don’t forget to add stuff to http://www.mashedmuseum.org.uk as and when you invent it

Cheers

Mike

Not just any old Dublin Core, but Qualified Dublin Core, taken from the PNDS Application Profile.

Is that Dublin Core I spy? Yuck.

P.S. We have a Google search appliance at my work and people are going crazy suggesting sites to index. How exciting.

I found a RSS-to-KML converter. Here's a link to a KML file generated from the first twenty records in our charts collection: http://eatyourgreens.org.uk/testapps/rssToGeoRSS.kml and the feed displayed in google maps.

Nice work (and nice blog – added to my feedreader).

We’ve got a Google Mini running. So give me a buzz if you want to compare notes. I’m sure we’re not using ours to its full advantage yet.

The feeds have individual titles and descriptions now!
