OpenLearn Feed Annotation Streams

Annotate an RSS feed with links to related OpenLearn content.

This thirty minute mashup passes an RSS feed through the Yahoo Pipes Content Analysis service, which annotates each feed item with appropriate subject tags. These tags are then used as search terms for an OpenLearn search (itself powered by a Dapper screenscraper); Openlearn serarch results are then appended to the corresponding feed item.

The pipe needs optimising with respect to duplicate search terms/content analysis tags - at the moment, searches are quite likely to time out.
