Metadata Resources

RDF Site Summary - RSS

RSS is primarily used for delivering news headlines on the Web. Developed initially by Netscape for their "My Netscape Netcenter" service, RSS is now widely used to exchange headline metadata between news content providers and portals.

Note: older (pre 1.0) versions of RSS were often known as Rich Site Summary and were not applications of RDF, though the development of RSS and RDF are related historically.
