=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module extends Dave Rolsky's L<XML::Generator::RSS10> to support categories taken from the UK Local Government Category List (lgcl), a controlled vocabulary for use in the UK e-Government Metadata Standard (egms).

The module is intended for use only with L<XML::Generator::RSS10::egms>.  Please see the documentation accompanying that module for further information.

=head1 CAVEAT

This module has no awareness of what categories are actually in the LGCL.  Moreover, it calculates the appropriate reference to the LGCL RDF schema by taking the category you supply and putting it in CamelCase.  I'm not aware of any categories for which this would result in an incorrect reference, but exceptions would constitute a bug.

=head1 BUGS

Please let me know of any you find.  You can use the CPAN bug tracker for this by emailing L<bug-XML-Generator-RSS10-lgcl@rt.cpan.org>.
