  • What's Rssing?
    Review of Business Information Systems – Third Quarter 2007 Volume 11, Number 3 More With Less Using RSS Annette C. Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University George Easton, ([email protected]), San Diego State University ABSTRACT Today, many receive information via RSS, an efficient delivery and aggregation technology that feeds user-specific web content to our computers. For an individual, RSS is like having an assistant available to gather the information you want to see from a variety of sources. For businesses, RSS can be an effective mechanism to reach customers and provide them with the information they have asked for. While there is tremendous growth in the usage of RSS, surprisingly, many of us know little about what it is. INTRODUCTION phemeralization is a term coined by Buckminster Fuller that refers to the ability to accomplish more with less using increasingly efficient methods and technologies (Heylighen, 1998). An evolving X technology that illustrates the essence of ephemeralization is RSS. Just as newspaper columns can be syndicated and published in other newspapers, website content can be syndicated and published on other websites. “Really Simple Syndication,” “Resource Description Framework (RDF) Site Summary,” and “Rich Site Summary,” are all terms that have shared the acronym RSS and have referred to technology that facilitates the sharing, or syndication, of website content by subscription. RSS, more specifically RSS feeds, reduce the effort and time required to access web content by allowing users to subscribe to specific web sources that generate or that link to content they desire. The subscribers use personalized start pages or RSS readers to display summaries of the content which are updated automatically as new information becomes available.

    RSS AND ATOM: UNDERSTANDING AND IMPLEMENTING CONTENT FEEDS AND SYNDICATION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Heinz Wittenbrink | 280 pages | 15 Dec 2010 | Packt Publishing Limited | 9781904811572 | English | Birmingham, United Kingdom RSS and Atom: Understanding and Implementing Content Feeds and Syndication PDF Book This property is only used for Atom feeds where it is the feed-level ID element. Since I don't use standalone feed reader software , I'm not able to give you any recommendations, but you can get free ones from thefreecountry. Non Necessary non-necessary. Atom is the name of an XML- based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources belonging to periodically updated websites. You do not need to give your email address, fork out any money, nor furnish any information whatsoever. Aggregators can offer a variety of special features, including combining several related feeds into a single view, hiding entries that the viewer has already seen, and categorizing feeds and entries. Ignored for Atom feeds. Indicates the last time the feed was modified in a significant way. Skip to content. This designates which type of feed this should be: RSS 2. Identifies a small image which provides iconic visual identification for the feed. Support Django! Otherwise, if the type attribute starts with text , then an escaped document of this type is contained inline. Although the author believes the contents to be accurate at the time of publication, no liability is assumed for them, their application or any consequences thereof. Instead, you should define a subtitle attribute. For example, imagine that your company announces a new product or feature every month or two.

  • What Is RSS and How Can It Serve Libraries?
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-LIS What is RSS and how can it serve libraries? Zeki Çelikbaş Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Abstract: Examines RDF Site Summary, or Rich Site Summary (RSS) feeds, a means of distributing news or other Web content from an online publisher to users. Outlines RSS background and XML-based structure. Explains feed readers and web-based content aggregators, the two chief tools used for reading RSS feeds. Lists some advantages of RSS use and some reputable RSS feed sources, also known as RSS feed directories. Offers suggestions on potential library uses of RSS including: general communications and marketing; library user education (via book lists); current awareness services (via table of contents analysis for journals); and, augmenting of reference services. Introduction Think for a moment about why and for what you use the Internet. The answers are probably many, but in a nutshell they can be reduced to: for almost everything and anything, and because you need up-to-date information quickly. The Internet is indeed a powerful tool for our everyday lives. But the Internet has a different meaning for us as information professionals, and that is as a part of our daily work. Internet-connected computers are indispensable for our official, everyday chores, but, at the same time, support for Internet services is becoming a weightier duty among our present information service responsibilities. Further improvements in network and Internet technologies will only increase the big changes in our lives.
