DESCRIPTION

This module extends Dave Rolsky's XML::Generator::RSS10 to provide support categories taken from the UK Local Government Category List (lgcl), a controlled vocabulary for use in the UK e-Government Metadata Standard (egms).

The module is intended for use only with XML::Generator::RSS10::egms. Please see the documentation accompanying that module for further information.

CHANGES

Version 0.02: Minor change to the way the XML local-name is created for tags in the LGCL namespace, to account for category names with punctuation marks.

Version 0.01: Initial release.
