RSS - RDF Site Summary aka Really Simple Syndication

RDF - Resource Description Framework is a family of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specifications which integrate various applications and events using XML as an interchange syntax.

An RSS document called a "feed", "web feed", or "channel", contains either full text or a summary of content from a linked website. It is an easy way to keep up with new information on the user's chosen websites.

In 1997 Dave Winer at UserLand designed thescriptingNews format.

In 1999 Netscape designed RSS 0.90 for use with my.netscape.com, which also supported scriptingNews format.
