NITF Views

greg.harvey - May 19, 2009 - 17:12

Heavily based on the row style bits of Atom Views, this module allows Views to output NITF XML documents for nodes. You can select RSS or Atom (depends on Atom Views) styles for a Views 2 "display" in feed form and select NITF XML as your row style and your nodes will be outputted as valid NITF 3.4 XML within the feed of your choice.

What is NITF?

NITF is a specific XML format used by the newspaper industry. Here is a sample document in NITF 3.4 (the latest at time of writing):
http://www.nitf.org/IPTC/NITF/3.4/examples/nitf-fishing.xml

More extensive documentation of the DTD can be found here:
http://www.iptc.org/std/NITF/3.4/documentation/nitf-documentation.html

And organisation home page is:

The Future

This initial release is quite basic. I have a TODO list:

- Add Location support (where applicable)
- Add the ability to map CCK fields to elements in the NITF schema with an AJAX interface (like node Fields)

Please feel free to make further feature requests via the issue queue.
