FAQ
RSS to MIF Conversion
What are RSS files?
RSS with location data is GeoRSS, a way of adding a place on the map to the items of a web feed. An ordinary RSS or Atom feed delivers a list of news items, blog posts, events, or alerts, and GeoRSS lets each item say where it happened or where it belongs, as a point, a line, or an area. Software can then show the feed on a map, for example earthquakes as they are reported, local news, or photos taken at specific places, and the map updates as the feed does. GeoRSS was developed by a community of web and mapping specialists and became a standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium. The same .rss extension is used by plain feeds without any location.
What are MIF files?
MIF is the file with the shapes in MapInfo's interchange format, which stores map data as a pair of text files. In the .mif file are the points, lines, and areas of a map layer, written as readable text with their coordinates, colors, and line styles, while the attributes of these objects, such as names and numbers, are kept in the partner .mid file. MapInfo is a desktop GIS program widely used in business, telecommunications, and local government, and the MIF and MID pair is its open way of passing data to and from other programs, since it can be read and edited in any text editor. A MIF file needs its MID file with the same name to be complete.
