rsscalCreator

rsscalCreator is a PHP class that implements the rsscal (RDF) specification of iCal, RFC2445. Only the calendar event component is implemented.

Knowledge of calendar and RFC2445 is necessary!

RFC2445 in text format: www.kigkonsult.se/iCalcreator/iCalDictionary/rfc2445.txt.
RFC2445 in HTML format: www.kigkonsult.se/iCalcreator/iCalDictionary/index.html.

For information about RSS, see RSS tutorial.

For information about RDF specification, see http://web.resource.org/rss/1.0/spec.

The 'Dublin Core' Namespace Declaration (explanation at http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/) allows optional subelements.

The EVENT Namespace Declaration (purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/event) describes event (optional) subelements for ITEM elements.
