Crisis Commons Wiki for RSS Feed Challenge – Click Here
Various groups (including the United Nations and Pentagon) have asked CrisisCommons to collate many media feeds related to the 2010 Haiti earthquake into useful forms for decision support, aggregation, and integration with other systems. News feeds on Haiti (RSS or otherwise) will eventually be displayed on the CrisisCommons news aggregator, news.crisiscommons.com, and tool sets we have used and created will be made accessible to other disaster relief and public safety agencies.
General Project Requirements
Currently, the working requirements for this RSS Aggregation project include:
1.Aggregated RSS feed of news filtered by keywords
2. Aggregated RSS feed of Haiti and UN-related Twitter tweets filtered by #tags which we can specify
3.Aggregated RSS feed on Haiti UN staff information (who is missing, who has been rescued, who has been confirmed deceased)
4.RSS feed on UN-related stories from the ground (Haitian Voices) which can be used in UN media channels
5.List of specific issues which require UN assistance (where possible highlighting which UN agency should respond to this issue)
