Xcode glitch

from big nerd ranch page 346

There is a little Xcode glitch to be aware of: sometimes Xcode just ignores a resource file's changes when you build an application. To ensure your application is being built from scratch, first delete the application from your device or simulator. Then, choose Clean from the Product menu. This will force the application to be entirely recompiled, re-bundled, and re-installed.

A simple metadata schema for Open Data Apps

Having developed quite a number of open data / mobile apps at the University of Aegean and National Technical University of Athens, I was glad to listen to Nikos Loutas ( @nikosloutas ) presentation at the "Uses of Open Data" workshop in Brussels, organised by the CrossOver project.
His proposal for structuring a simple metadata schema for Open Data apps made me reach for my notes on classifying student apps at Uni Aegean.  So, here is a 10-attributes simple schema that could help potential users search and find apps on the web:

•   country: the country or countries covered by the app
•   region: the region/state/prefecture
•   city: the city covered by the app
•   language: the languages supported 
•   sector: the specific sector(s) the app is targeting

•   linkMode: is the app using Static or Dynamic data?
•   runtimeEnv: Web / Mobile
•   mobileOS: iOS / Android / WinM
•   visualisationMeans: Maps / Charts / Graphs 
•   licencing: free / payment  needed
