RSS Version History
RRSSSS -- VVEERRSSIIOONN HHIISSTTOORRYY http://www.tutorialspoint.com/rss/rss-version-history.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com RSS was first invented by Netscape. They wanted to use an XML format to distribute news, stories, and information. Netscape refined the version of RSS and then dropped it. Later Userland Software started controlling RSS specifications and releasing newer RSS versions. They continued development of their own version of RSS and eventually UserLand released RSS v2. RSS has been released in many different versions. 12/27/97 - Dave Winer at Userland developed scriptingNews. RSS was born. 3/15/99 - Netscape developed RSS 0.90 whichsupportedscriptingNews. This was simply XML with an RDF Header and it was used for my.netscape.com. 6/15/99 - Dave Winer at UserLand develops scriptingNews 2.0b1, which included Netscape's RSS 0.90 features also. 7/10/99 - Netscape developed RSS 0.91. In this version they removed the RDF header, but included most features from scriptingNews 2.0b1. 7/28/99 - UserLand deprecated scriptingNews formats and adopted only RSS 0.91. Netscape stops their RSS development. 6/4/00 - UserLand releases the official RSS 0.91 specification. 8/14/00 - A group led by Rael Dornfest at O'Reilly, developed RSS 1.0. This format uses RDF and namespaces. This version is often confused as being a new version of 0.91, but this is a completely new format with no ties to RSS 0.91 12/25/00 - Dave Winer at UserLand develops RSS 0.92, which is 0.91 with optional elements. 04/20/01 - RSS0.93 was discussed but never deployed. -
Specifications for Implementing Web Feeds in DLXS Kevin S
Hawkins 1/5/2011 5:01:52 PM Page 1 of 5 * SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING OFFICE WHITEPAPER Specifications for implementing web feeds in DLXS Kevin S. Hawkins Executive Summary SPO uses DLXS to deliver nearly all of its publications online, but this software does not offer any functionality for web feeds (commonly called RSS feeds). The components of web feeds are reviewed, and recommendations are made for implementing Atom 1.0 web feeds in SPO publications using a script run during releasing which determines which content to push to the feed. Motivations Members of the editorial board of the Journal of Electronic Publishing (collid jep) and SPO staff have requested that web feed functionality be provided for SPO publications. This would allow end users to subscribe to feeds of not only serial content (the obvious use) but in theory any other collection to which content is added, especially on a regular basis. A feed could provide a single notice that a collection has been updated, perhaps with a table of contents (henceforth a small feed), or instead contain separate notices for each item added to the collection (a large feed). Components of a web feed A web feed operates with three necessary components: • a website that syndicates (or publishes) a feed • a feed standard being used by the website • the end user’s news aggregator (feed reader or news reader), which retrieves the feed periodically. A feed is an XML document containing individual entries (also items, stories, or articles). Syndicating a feed The content provider’s website often has buttons (icons called chicklets) to be used by the end user to add a feed to his or her news aggregator. -

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning
Language Learning & Technology September 2005, Volume 9, Number 3 http://llt.msu.edu/vol9num3/emerging/ pp. 9-12 EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Skype and Podcasting: Disruptive Technologies for Language Learning Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University New technologies, or new uses of existing technologies, continue to provide unique opportunities for language learning. This is in particular the case for several new network options for oral language practice. Both Skype and podcasting can be considered "disruptive technologies" in that they allow for new and different ways of doing familiar tasks, and in the process, may threaten traditional industries. Skype, the "people's telephone," is a free, Internet-based alternative to commercial phone service, while podcasting, the "radio for the people," provides a "narrowcasting" version of broadcast media. Both have sparked intense interest and have large numbers of users, although it is too soon to toll the bell for telephone companies and the radio industry. Skype and podcasting have had a political aspect to their embrace by early adopters -- a way of democratizing institutions -- but as they reach the mainstream, that is likely to become less important than the low cost and convenience the technologies offer. Both technologies offer intriguing opportunities for language professionals and learners, as they provide additional channels for oral communication. Skype and Internet Telephony Skype is a software product which provides telephone service through VoIP (Voice over IP), allowing your personal computer to act like a telephone. A microphone attached to the computer is necessary and headphones are desirable (to prevent echoes of the voice of your conversation partner). It is not the only such tool, nor the first, but because it provides good quality (through highly efficient compression) and is free, it has become widely used. -
Web 2.0: Beyond the Concept Practical Ways to Implement RSS, Podcasts, and Wikis
Web 2.0: Beyond the Concept Practical Ways to Implement RSS, Podcasts, and Wikis By Karen Huffman, National Geographic Society Abstract This article focuses on how the National Geographic Society’s Libraries & Information Services has implemented RSS, podcasts and wikis with suggested practical application for academic libraries. The article is an adaptation from a presentation given during the Special Libraries Association’s Annual Conference, June 2006 (Huffman & Ferry, 2006). The Sparks That Ignited Us…. National Geographic’s Libraries & Information Services (LIS) discovery and implementation of technologies dubbed “Web 2.0” has been an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary process. We watched the trends to evolve our products and services. In 2005 we began seeing online news sources like BBCnews.com offering alternative ways to access their content. New RSS-labeled icons appeared in the margins of websites with links to directories of feeds. These RSS directories generally organized their feeds either topically or by news section and often included frequently asked questions about RSS as well as recommended feed readers. As information organizers (and multi-taskers who streamline their work processes wherever possible), we initially saw RSS feeds as a way to keep current with news sources, blogs, and research sites that were regularly publishing content through XML-based feeds! We saw the arrival of podcasts on the heels of RSS. In January and February, 2005, the Pew Internet and American Life Project conducted a survey, and found 22 million, or 11%, Americans age 18 or older owned an iPod or MP3 player. Apple’s freely-available iTunes library brought podcasting to the mainstream with the launch of its “Podcasts” directory in June 2005. -

Working with Feeds, RSS, and Atom
CHAPTER 4 Working with Feeds, RSS, and Atom A fundamental enabling technology for mashups is syndication feeds, especially those packaged in XML. Feeds are documents used to transfer frequently updated digital content to users. This chapter introduces feeds, focusing on the specific examples of RSS and Atom. RSS and Atom are arguably the most widely used XML formats in the world. Indeed, there’s a good chance that any given web site provides some RSS or Atom feed—even if there is no XML-based API for the web site. Although RSS and Atom are the dominant feed format, other formats are also used to create feeds: JSON, PHP serialization, and CSV. I will also cover those formats in this chapter. So, why do feeds matter? Feeds give you structured information from applications that is easy to parse and reuse. Not only are feeds readily available, but there are many applications that use those feeds—all requiring no or very little programming effort from you. Indeed, there is an entire ecology of web feeds (the data formats, applications, producers, and consumers) that provides great potential for the remix and mashup of information—some of which is starting to be realized today. This chapter covers the following: * What feeds are and how they are used * The semantics and syntax of feeds, with a focus on RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, and Atom 1.0 * The extension mechanism of RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 * How to get feeds from Flickr and other feed-producing applications and web sites * Feed formats other than RSS and Atom in the context of Flickr feeds * How feed autodiscovery can be used to find feeds * News aggregators for reading feeds and tools for validating and scraping feeds * How to remix and mashup feeds with Feedburner and Yahoo! Pipes Note In this chapter, I assume you have an understanding of the basics of XML, including XML namespaces and XML schemas. -

RSS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 6 RSS From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from RSS feeds) RSS (most commonly expanded as Really Simple RSS Syndication ) is a family of web feed formats used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, audio, and video—in a standardized format. [2] An RSS document (which is called a "feed", "web feed", [3] or "channel") includes full or summarized text, plus metadata such as publishing dates and authorship. Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates The RSS logo from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read Filename .rss, .xml using software called an "RSS reader", "feed extension reader", or "aggregator", which can be web-based, application/rss+xml desktop-based, or mobile-device-based. A Internet standardized XML file format allows the media type (Registration Being information to be published once and viewed by Prepared) [1] many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering into the reader the feed's URI or Type of Web syndication by clicking an RSS icon in a web browser that format initiates the subscription process. The RSS reader Extended XML checks the user's subscribed feeds regularly for from new work, downloads any updates that it finds, and provides a user interface to monitor and read the feeds. RSS formats are specified using XML, a generic specification for the creation of data formats. Although RSS formats have evolved from as early as March 1999, [4] it was between 2005 and 2006 when RSS gained widespread use, and the (" ") icon was decided upon by several major Web browsers. -

Cartert Scott Lunttt ABSTRACT With the relative democratization of broadcast communication brought about by the new media technologies of podcasting and Internet broadcasting, new questions have arisen regarding appropriate legal standards for regulatory efforts. In particular, Internet broadcasters and podcasters collide with licensing agencies responsible for implementing U.S. and foreign copyright law. Media convergence has caused confusion amongst policymakers, industry professionals and the public with respect to the application of traditional copyright law to these new technologies. This article explores how congressional legislation and federal court jurisprudence, combined with the efforts of private licensing agencies such as ASCAP, BMI and SoundExchange, impact the t Assistant professor of communications, Brigham Young University; ID., Brigham Young University, 2003; M.S.
