The idea behind PRSS is to create a single standard Open XML standard for the syndicating property information for the real estate industry following on from the successful RSS (Really Simple Syndication) format.

We hope to create a standard format that will be very simple to use yet robust enough for the demanding user.

This is the first proposed draft - please comment

Everything in blue is your value.
You can have as many attributes as you want.

Hi Michael,

Nice idea - but I think you need to also cater for rental properties.  So you should maybe consider adding something for availability (i.e. dates).

Ok people, this is version 0.2 of the PRSS XML standard.

Based on user's feedback, I have added support for attachments (files, video, etc - anything electronic that is not an image) and rental properties.

Fantastic idea! Although, you’ll almost certainly find there is a major stumbling block in XML feeds when it comes to country and region mapping. Every portal I’ve looked at has a different criteria making it difficult to try and map to their data set. Most portals won’t allow free text fields and unless you have a pre defined fixed list for the mapping of data this will be an almost impossible task.

Very good initiative. If we can have an xml standard that most companies will use, it will make the property portals work easier. Today, there are many to maintain.
