This page is going to serve as a template and example for how Hive can be used to store and serve the Profile for the new Podcast Person tags in Podcast 2.0.
And for those on Hive who don't know what I'm talking about, go follow and especially starting listening to the Podcasting 2.0 Podcast which posts every week on Hive. I'm hard at work making a Hive version of what they're calling Value for Value on that show.
Person
<podcast:person>
This element specifies a person of interest to the podcast. It is primarily intended to identify people like hosts, co-hosts and guests. Although, it is flexible enough to allow fuller credits to be given using the roles and groups that are listed in the Podcast Taxonomy Project
Parent
<item> or <channel>
Count
Multiple
Node value
This is the full name or alias of the person. This value cannot be blank.
Attributes
- role: (optional) Used to identify what role the person serves on the show or episode. This should be a reference to an official role within the Podcast Taxonomy Project list (see below). If
roleis missing then "host" is assumed. - group: (optional) This should be a reference to an official group within the Podcast Taxonomy Project list. If
groupis not present, then "cast" is assumed. - img: (optional) This is the url of a picture or avatar of the person.
- href: (optional) The url to a relevant resource of information about the person, such as a homepage or third-party profile platform. Please see the example feed for possible choices of what to use here.
The role and group attributes are case-insensitive. So, "Host" is the same as "host", and "Cover Art Designer" is the same as "cover art designer".
The full taxonomy list is here as a json file.
Please do not exceed 128 characters for the node value or attribute values, or they may be truncated by aggregators.
