RSS stands for Real Simple
Syndication (RSS 2.0). It is a conventional, rather widely accepted way of publishing or
exchanging information on the Internet, which keeps the data's meaning between applications. RSS
is a way for any resource available on the Web
to be qualified by its metadata (information that describes
information). For
instance, an article is usually described by its author, title, abstract, publishing
date, copyright, while an item available for purchase on an on-line shopping site
is better represented by its description, price, and availability. Because this qualification is independent from the object it
qualifies, RSS can represent information about anything available on the Web,
although it is current and mainly used to publish articles on-line. How
to read a RSS Feed?
A RSS Feed is basically a RSS-formatted file available on a web
site, ready to be retrieved by a tool acting as a reader. This reader can be
either a standalone or web-based application:

A brief history of RSSNetscape gave birth to RSS as Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.90)
in 1999. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
standardized it later in 2000 as RDF Site Summary (RSS 1.0).
Resource Description Framework
(RDF) was the initial language for
qualifying any resource available on the Web by its metadata. Then
in 2003, the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at
Harvard Law School
released Real
Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0), which took its name from the specific application
and extension of the RDF Site Summary protocol to the process of
publishing on-line content information, mainly, but not restricted to, articles and discussion messages.
