Atom is an XML-based system for weblogging and syndicated news delivery. OWL is a web language designed for use by applications that need to process information rather than just presenting it to humans. These pages contain material describing the expression of Atom in OWL.
2005-10-16: Work is ongoing to update the model to Atom Format 1.0 - now at atomowl.org
2005-03-25: The model and code presented on this site are not current with
the Atom Format Specification. But that spec is nearing completion,
and once that is finalized the documents and code here will be updated
accordingly. Meanwhile work has been ongoing elsewhere, see Related
Material below.
There is also now a public mailing list (thanks Henry!) : atom-owl@googlegroups.com.
Henry Story's implementation and extended models
David Powell's Experimental Atom to RDF Mapping. This features an RDF Schema and XSLT Stylesheet which will produce a structurally rich (canonical-like) representation of Atom data in RDF/XML. The schema constructs are from RDFS rather than OWL. This is current (2005-03-21) with draft-06 of the Atom Format spec.
Mark Nottingham has also done some remedial work on the Atom/OWL model, to make it usable with Sparta.py, a simple Python API for RDF.
Mark Woodman has done some work with Atom + Jena, producing JavaBeans.
