Again great work this hurricane season on providing and packaging some great data feeds to kml/kmz.
My work similarly involves collecting buoy data and observations from the same sources using the same routines. Feel free to re-utilize via XPath or XSLT these existing feeds and time series graph product references via hourly referesh as:
or see some perl coding examples for gathering data from federal sources at get data code examples
What I would be interested with developing in conjunction with you or others is a more standardized rss type feed for latest observation data from platforms so developers can spend more time on the tailored product and packaging output end and less time on the repeated data gathering input end.
I've developed a basic xml straw man at ObsRSS and am curious if other developers have feedback on this or something similar.
Thanks again for all the work, Jeremy Cothran Software Developer Caro-COOPS SEACOOS
