Use of atom:category to specify type of OPDS Entry to aid in UI differentiation #49

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
My proposal here is to expand OPDS defined usage of atom:entrys to include atom 
category specifications.  This would allow the UI a good deal of more 
information that it could use to help explain to the user why this particular 
entry is in this particular feed.  It could be a suggestion, an advertisement, 
an alternate-search proposal, etc.

To expand on one of the examples from the 1.0 spec document:

I'm not sure that this is within the scope of our work at the OPDS WG, but you 
can certainly extend things yourself, just keep in mind that you should specify 
a scheme to do this in a better way and that some clients might display the 
label or term anyway.
