RSS, as this group can tell you, is a lightweight, super-well- implemented way to structure a simple package of stories. Tools abound to get the titles of those stories, plus their summaries and URLs, and ship those to and fro, make those links show up in interesting ways. NewsML is also a packaging format, but is much more intense. It's good for putting together a package of related content where you want to differentiate the sidebar from the main piece, and the thumbnail from the web graphic from the hi-res print graphic, etc. Plus you want all the metadata for all those objects (company tickers, people-IDs, authors, event IDs) bubbled up front, and consistent. Companies are writing newswire editorial systems using NewsML metastructures. Another standard, NITF, is great for structuring an article in XML. It's not a packager of pointers, like RSS, but is instead a platform- independent representation of what's being pointed *to* (if that thing is a news article, perhaps with some photo or multimedia references). If you have further questions on these latter two, send me an email. I'm the current editor of NITF, and a founding chair of NewsML. Or visit nitf.org / newsml.org Best of luck with the project!
