ArcMap to GeoRSS GML script needed
June 1st, 2007
I need some pretty basic GeoRSS GML export functionality from ArcMap. Beta quality is fine. Has anyone done this or can it be whipped up in a week? I’d be happy to take a stab at maintaining it as open source, but there’s always ArcScripts for this as well.

You could try using FME or perhaps the Data Interoperability Extension for ArcGIS (which is actually an FME “light”) to write GeoRSS from ArcMap
Have a look at http://www.safe.com
This is not a script you can extend, but a powerful tool that will make your life much much easier.

Raj,
This is achievable in ArcOjects - how complex do you want the export? What type of features would you like to export?
Also there’s the question of transformation - if it’s quick and dirty you’re looking for then the export will only push out coordinates in their native projection
Anyway if you interested send me a mail

MapButcher,
The export is very simple. Certainly no reprojection needed. Just the geometry is important at this stage. A very simple attribute export would be nice for completeness. Records could be written out like this:
<layer> <record> <id>333</id> <area>3434543</area> <gml:LineString> <gml:posList>...</gml:posList> </gml:LineString> </record> <record> ... </record> </layer>June 3rd, 2007 at 12:28 am

[...] I’ve been meaning to build a GeoRSS exporter for ArcGIS for a while and this post finally gave me a kick up the arse. You can download the setup for it here, at present this is very much beta, but give it a shot if you want and feel free to mail me when it breaks - it’s been built against ArcGIS 9.1 i’ll post a 9.2 version in the next week or so.
