FBO Daily
SGML Style (GPO Access Format)

Changes v0.01 12/14/2001

0. The file will be published every day including holidays and weekends. The 
data accumulated from the previous day (e.g. posted on 12/13/2001) will be 
included in the next day's publication (publication date 12/15/2001). Since it 
is very slow on the weekends, those publications may contain no Presolicitaion 
<CONTRACT> and/or no Award <CONTRAWD> sections. We haven't finalized how to 
handle days with no postings to FedBizOpps.gov, but we will most likely post a 
shell with no notices to positively confirm we ran our process. There will be a 
status page accessible from the Web (www.fbodaily.com/status.html) to check 
system status.

1. DTD: See fbodaily.dtd. It will not be included in each night's ZIP file for 
those receiving that format. At least 60-days advance notice will be given 
before the DTD and SGML file formats are changed. NOTE: The format may change 
(likely) in the next week while we iron out the bugs. Consider this to be a 
BETA format.

2. FBO-XXXX instead of PSA-XXXX in <ISSNBR> tag.

3. Information at the top of the file and Reader's Guide (on Monday's) has 
changed, but conforms to GPO Access DTD formatting.

4. Special Notices <SNOTE> no longer exist as a separate section but are 
contained within the same section as PRESOL (<CONTRACT>) and same sub tags as 
<PRESOL>.

5. New notice tag <FILE> for documents posted to FedBizOpps. Same sub tags as 
<PRESOL>.

6. Expanded <LINK> tag may include additional sub tags <BYTES> and <FILETYPE> 
to accommodate extra information for <FILE> notices.

7. New tag within any notice <CITE> include the source URL from FedBizOpps.gov

8. New tag within any notice <POP> Place of Performance. Has sub tags 
<ADDRESS>, <ZIP>, <COUNTRY> and can contain any one or more. Follows <EMAIL> 
tag when present.

9. <DESC> tag not required for <EMAIL> tag.

10. <RECD> tag has new information formatted for FBO Daily usage. 
FedBizOpps.gov no longer provides any sort of serialization.

11. CBDDATA: Within each FSG category the notices fall in this order SRCSGT, 
PRESOL, MOD, FILE, and SNOTE. AWARD remains in a separate section at the end.

12. Data files can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.fbodaily.com/fbo/sgml/. The

13. Removed extra spaces from text when two or more spaces occured in a row.
