NAME
    XML::NewsML_G2 - generate NewsML-G2 news items

VERSION
    v0.1.2

INSTALLATION
    To install this module, run the following commands:

        perl Build.PL
        ./Build
        ./Build test
        ./Build install

SYNOPSIS
        use XML::NewsML_G2;
        my $ni = XML::NewsML_G2::News_Item->new(%args);
        my $writer = XML::NewsML_G2::Writer_2_12(news_item => $ni);
        my $dom = $writer->create_dom();

DESCRIPTION
    This module tries to implement the creation of XML files conforming to
    the NewsML-G2 specification as published by the IPTC. It does not aim in
    implementing the complete standard, but in covering the most common use
    cases.

    For the full specification of the format, visit
    http://www.iptc.org/site/News_Exchange_Formats/NewsML-G2/

CURRENT STATUS
    The implementation currently support text items only - no support for
    images, videos, graphics or multimedia packages yet.

    Version 2.9 of the standard is frozen, so the output should not change
    when you update this distribution. Version 2.12 however is not yet
    frozen, changes in the output are to be expected.

SCHEMES AND CATALOGS
    Before starting to use schemes or catalogs with this module, read the
    chapter 13 of the NewsML-G2 implementation guide. Go on, do it now. I'll
    wait.

    You don't need to use either schemes or catalogs in order to use this
    module, unless you are required to do so by the NewsML-G2 standard (e.g.
    the `service' attribute). If you specify a value for such an attribute
    and don't add a corresponding scheme, creating the DOM tree will die.

    For all attributes where a scheme is not required by the standard, you
    can start without specifying anything. In that case, a `literal'
    attribute will be created, with the value you specified in the `qcode'
    attribute. For instance:

        my $org = XML::NewsML_G2::Organisation->new(name => 'Google', qcode => 'gogl');
        $ni->add_organisation($org);

    will result in this output:

        <subject type="cpnat:organisation" literal="org#gogl">
          <name>Google</name>
        </subject>

    If the qcodes used in your organisation instances are part of a
    controlled vocabulary, you can convey this information by creating a
    XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme instance, specifying a custom, unique `uri' for
    your vocabulary, and registering it with the
    XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme_Manager:

        my $os = XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme->new(alias => 'xyzorg',
            uri => 'http://xyz.org/cv/org');
        my $sm = XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme_Manager->new(org => $os);

    The output will now contain an inline catalog with your scheme:

        <catalog>
          <scheme alias="xyzorg" uri="http://xyz.org/cv/org"/>
        </catalog>

    and the literal will be replaced by a qcode:

        <subject type="cpnat:organisation" qcode="xyzorg:gogl">
          <name>Google</name>
        </subject>

    If you have multiple schemes, you can package them together into a
    single catalog, which you publish on your website. Simply specify the
    URL of the catalog when creating the XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme instance:

        my $os = XML::NewsML_G2::Scheme->new(alias => 'xyzorg',
            catalog => 'http://xyz.org/catalog_1.xml');

    and the inline catalog will be replaced with a link:

        <catalogRef href="http://xyz.org/catalog_1.xml"/>
