David Allen announced
the release of the version 1.0 of the NewsML Functional Specification
describing and amplifying the NewsML Version 1.0 DTD
published earlier this month.
NewsML is a XML based media neutral format for exchanging and managing news on the Internet.
After the publication and endorsement
of NewsML 1.0 by the IPTC on October 11, this functional specification brings a detailed
description of the new vocabulary.
Published as PDF, the document includes many examples of NewsML document fragments, always referring to the corresponding DTD fragment.
It includes a short overview, a list of the NewsML functions and elements, a glossary and a copy of the short form of the DTD.
