Push metadata with Sitemaps
2014-05-28Previously it has only been possible to push metadata with it's associated object, the specific html-page or document.
Beginning with Siteseeker version 6.10.600 it's also possible to deliver all your metadata in your xml sitemap for all your objects - which makes lifes easier.
The technique is an extension of Google Sitemaps
Example Sitemap XML with metadata
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"nullxmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:lis="https://karo-intranet.creuna.se/lis"nullxsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"> <url> <product:name>siteseeker</product:name> <product:price>1000</product:price> <product:image_url>http://www.siteseeker.se/product1.jpg</product:img_url> <loc>http://www.siteseeker.se/product1.html</loc> <lastmod>2012-07-03 02:00:33</lastmod> </url>
Elements other than <loc> and <lastmod> must be defined as typed metadata under SiteSeeker Admin -> Server -> Meta Data-> Additional meta attributes to be parsed correctly.
<lastmod> is currently ignored by SiteSeeker but should be left if sitemap is used by other crawlers.
