Notes:

Sportwire is a Java servlet implementation of an XML-based data acquisition and web presentation system developed for high-traffic national sports news websites such as cbc.ca/sports.

Sportwire features:

• pipeline processing of XML through multiple stylesheets and/or XML/RDBMS.
• flexible content caching to accommodate both semi-static content (eg bios) and highly volatile content (game updates) while minimizing server and database loading.
• Based on the Apache Velocity template system.
• Completely speakable URLs: No aych tee em ells or ecks em ells required. Sportwire follows a philosophy of human-oriented web addressing.
• Support for NewsML and SportsML, and for the translation of the AFP, ESPN and SN quasi-XML news feeds into standards-based SportsML.
