RSS Format

Outfoxed uses RSS 1.0 to encode user's reports. The only tags from non-standard modules are of:scope and of:quality.

Scope indicates how broadly the report can be applied. If it is empty or missing, this indicates that the report applies only to the specific URI of the rdf:about tag. Otherwise, it must contain some portion of the rdf:about URI with *'s indicating where it can be generalized. For example, *getoutfoxed.com* would apply to every page on this website.

Quality indicates the subjective evaluation of the specified resource. Range is from 100 (Absolutely perfect) to -100 (Completely dangerous). A value of 0 indicates that the quality is unknown, or cannot be determined. If the specified resource is another RDF file, it indicates the degree of trust. (Or to be more precise, the confidence/probability that the subjective values of the target file's creator are the same as the source page's creator.)

Informer pages are indicated by the presence of _RSS in the <dc:subject> tag.

It is reccomended that you provide an XSL stylesheet which can transform the RSS into HTML. (Sample XSL File)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="users/outfoxed.xsl"?>
