05 - What is the minimum set of metadata required to make a valid Event feed?

The Event Application Profile provides elements that describe event in detail. However, not everyone can provide all the information. Therefore, the most important fields when creating an Events feed are:

  • ags:dateStart
  • ags:dateEnd
  • ags:location (ags:locationCity, ags:locationCountry)

For example, see a sample file. For ags:locationCountry, please use 3-letter ISO country codes.

Also keep in mind that in addition to the basic requirements of an RSS feed, the following elements/refinements are mandatory in all types of feeds in order to be accepted by AgriFeeds:

• (RSS) Title
• (RSS) Link
• (RSS) Description
• (RSS) pubDate
