EML in the local elections

All,

 

yesterday we had local elections in Flanders. 

We 
used the EML specifications wherever we could, although we had to make some 
modifications to fit the local requirements.

 

The 
use of EML simplified interactions between systems but complicated the work for 
developers not familiar with XML processing. It was a challenge but EML never 
let us down.

 

You 
can see the use of the EML at http://vlaanderenkiest.be. The RSS feed 
might be of interest, it rarely gives an update but all documents are (almost 
completely) EML document.

 

We 
have made our own set of XML documents to provide us with aggregations and 
overviews. These are used in the applets: status, participation and M/F 
relations are all based in this. The whole site used to refresh, but since all 
documents are almost final not many update will be seen.

 

 

Thanks 
for being able to use this EML specification in a real 
situation.

 

 

Best 
regards,
