[Dspace-general] Podcasts and DSpace

[Mark Diggory]

The generated RSS would need to be adjusted to reference the  
bitstream as the target for the podcast audio. Which would require  
some java development work in the FeedServlet / FeedGenerator.  Right  
now the feeds only contain a url for the Item itself, not any  of its  
associated bitstream files.

Ideally, one would like to implement something like this in a way  
that would allow the application to detect if the item had a podcast  
in it before introducing the content into the RSS feed. To give you  
an idea what is missing heres an item from a DSpace rss feed

> <item>
>       <title>Women as Policy Makers: Evidence from a Randomized  
> Policy Experiment in India</title>
>       <link>http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/39126</link>
>       <description>This data set uses political reservations for  
> women in India to study the impact of women's leadership on policy  
> decisions...</description>

>     </item>

and one with a podcast included:

> <item>
>       <title>Todays Radio Show - Monday</title>
>       <description>Here is my Monday podcast. Hope you like it.</

> length="4834743" type="audio/mpeg"/>
> </item>
