BluePrint for Message Parser

Current Status

See DeveloperGuidelines/Messaging/Parser

Plans

See BluePrint/Messaging/ExtendingParsing

Notes

​Pyparsing is included in the modules folder.

This can decode messages, especially from compressed formats such as Tweets or SMS but also free-from formats such as email.

We could add further text processing such as our implementation of ​Levenshtein, ​Jaro-Winkler Distance, ​SeenTags or ​Oger.

Alternative:

• ​RESTful semantic tag extraction application for SMS, Twitter and Text

Micro-Syntax

• ​GeoHashes
  • ​Python lib
• Tweets
  • ​Geotagging where hardware/software combination available: place_id from ​http://twitter.com/{username}/statuses/{tweet_id}.json -> ​http://api.twitter.com/1/geo/id/{place_id}.json
  • otherwise use WW place WW message:
    • ​http://www.weather.gov/stormreports/
    • ​http://www.srh.noaa.gov/media/epz/Twitter/TwitterStormReportProgram.wmv
  • EPIC's ​Tweak the Tweet
• SMS
  • geo lat lon
  • ​OGC GeoSMS standard
