Media aggregators combine the convenience of the RSS information feeds with the capabilities of media sharing and distribution. Personal media aggregators not only provide a way to create, store and distribute thematic content but also allow users to customize the way material is collected, transformed and further distributed. We present the architecture and capabilities of the LoaMA personal media aggregator: a tool that handles multimedia contents of various types and provides a mechanism that allows users to compose transformers to manipulate RSS feeds. Transformations can be used to create customized playlists, which in turn can be shared among users as feeds.

Abstract
Media aggregators combine the convenience of the RSS information feeds with the capabilities of media sharing and distribution. Personal media aggregators not only provide a way to create, store and distribute thematic content but also allow users to customize the way material is collected, transformed and further distributed. We present the architecture and capabilities of the LoaMA personal media aggregator: a tool that handles multimedia contents of various types and provides a mechanism that allows users to compose transformers to manipulate RSS feeds. Transformations can be used to create customized playlists, which in turn can be shared among users as feeds.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
