II. What is sco-oper ?
Sco-oper is a project which allow you to generate the customized xml file needed by this service. This xml file is a url submitted by the developpers to the service.
In order to be as generic as possible, the developper have to generate a plugins for his WebSite. This Plugin retrieve the information needed by the script and return an array formated in specific way(for instance array("title","text","url")). Most of the time, this plugin do a call to database, and return the needed informations, but we can imagine that it can use a Web Service.
Then, the retrieved informations are passed to an other type of plugin "QueryResult", this results define the "Graphical" layer of xml file, by graphical layer, i m talking of a preformat xml files.
Here is a class diagram describing the "architecture" of this "QueryResult", you can see that the result can follow different "pattern" with or without pictures etc...
