We have created an RssDetector that accepts a whitelist of domain names provided by a client and checks to validate which domains have an Rss feed. Once confirmed, the URL for the domains Rss feed will be forwarded to the RssFetcherService. This service will capture any URLs published by the Rss feeds in the future for profiling.
For example, Disney UK provided us with a CSV containing a whitelist of domains. We ran the Rss Detector on the file and it positively identified ~39% of the domains as having an Rss feed. Then a new touchpoint, 128, was created for Disney, as well as a corresponding Owner in Contextual. The final stage is then to update the RssFetcherService to include the Rss Feeds from Disney.
