Web feeds benefit publishers by letting them syndicate content automatically. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favored websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. RSS feeds can be read using <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software" title="Software" class="mw-redirect">software</a> called an "RSS reader", "feed reader", or "<a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregator" title="Aggregator">aggregator</a>", which can be <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application" title="Web application">web-based</a> or <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_software" title="Application software">desktop-based</a>. A standardized <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML" title="XML">XML</a> file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. The user subscribes to a feed by entering the feed's <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI" title="URI" class="mw-redirect">URI</a> (often referred to informally as a "<a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL" title="URL" class="mw-redirect">URL</a>", although <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI#Technical_view" title="URI" class="mw-redirect">technically</a>, those two terms are <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URI#Relationship_to_URL_and_URN" title="URI" class="mw-redirect">not exactly synonymous</a>) into the reader or by clicking an RSS icon in a browser that initiates the subscription process.

The basic idea of restructuring information about websites goes back to as early as 1995, when <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanathan_V._Guha" title="Ramanathan V. Guha">Ramanathan V. Guha</a> and others in <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Computer" title="Apple Computer" class="mw-redirect">Apple Computer</a>'s Advanced Technology Group developed the <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_Content_Framework" title="Meta Content Framework">Meta Content Framework</a>.<a href="#cite_note-6" title="">[7]</a> For a more detailed discussion of these early developments, see the <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_web_syndication_technology" title="History of web syndication technology">history of web syndication technology</a>. RDF Site Summary, the first version of RSS, was created by <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramanathan_V._Guha" title="Ramanathan V. Guha">Guha</a> at <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netscape_Communications_Corporation" title="Netscape Communications Corporation" class="mw-redirect">Netscape</a> in March 1999 for use on the My.Netscape.Com portal. This version became known as RSS 0.9.<a href="#cite_note-Qstart-3" title="">[4]</a> In July 1999, <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dan_Libby&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Dan Libby (page does not exist)">Dan Libby</a> of Netscape produced a new version, RSS 0.91,<a href="#cite_note-Netsc99-1" title="">[2]</a> which simplified the format by removing <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework" title="Resource Description Framework">RDF</a> elements and incorporating elements from <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Winer" title="Dave Winer">Dave Winer</a>'s scriptingNews syndication format.<a href="#cite_note-7" title="">[8]</a> Libby also renamed RSS "Rich Site Summary" and outlined further development of the format in a "futures document".<a href="#cite_note-8" title="">[9]</a> This would be Netscape's last participation in RSS development for eight years. As RSS was being embraced by web publishers who wanted their feeds to be used on My.Netscape.Com and other early RSS portals, Netscape dropped RSS support from My.Netscape.Com in April 2001 during new owner AOL's restructuring of the company, also removing documentation and tools that supported the format.<a href="#cite_note-9" title="">[10]</a> Two entities emerged to fill the void, with neither Netscape's help nor approval: The <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS-DEV_Working_Group" title="RSS-DEV Working Group">RSS-DEV Working Group</a> and Winer, whose <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UserLand_Software" title="UserLand Software">UserLand Software</a> had published some of the first publishing tools outside of Netscape that could read and write RSS. Winer published a modified version of the RSS 0.91 specification on the UserLand website, covering how it was being used in his company's products, and claimed copyright to the document.<a href="#cite_note-10" title="">[11]</a> A few months later, UserLand filed a U.S. trademark registration for RSS, but failed to respond to a <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USPTO" title="USPTO" class="mw-redirect">USPTO</a> trademark examiner's request and the request was rejected in December 2001.<a href="#cite_note-11" title="">[12]</a> The <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS-DEV_Working_Group" title="RSS-DEV Working Group">RSS-DEV Working Group</a>, a project whose members included Guha and representatives of <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Reilly_Media" title="O'Reilly Media">O'Reilly Media</a> and Moreover, produced RSS 1.0 in December 2000.<a href="#cite_note-12" title="">[13]</a> This new version, which reclaimed the name RDF Site Summary from RSS 0.9, reintroduced support for RDF and added <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespaces" title="XML namespaces" class="mw-redirect">XML namespaces</a> support, adopting elements from standard metadata vocabularies such as <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Core" title="Dublin Core">Dublin Core</a>. In December 2000, Winer released RSS 0.92<a href="#cite_note-13" title="">[14]</a> a minor set of changes aside from the introduction of the enclosure element, which permitted audio files to be carried in RSS feeds and helped spark <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast" title="Podcast">podcasting</a>. He also released drafts of RSS 0.93 and RSS 0.94 that were subsequently withdrawn.<a href="#cite_note-14" title="">[15]</a> In September 2002, Winer released a major new version of the format, RSS 2.0, that redubbed its initials Really Simple Syndication. RSS 2.0 removed the type attribute added in the RSS 0.94 draft and added support for namespaces. Because neither Winer nor the RSS-DEV Working Group had Netscape's involvement, they could not make an official claim on the RSS name or format. This has fueled ongoing controversy in the syndication development community as to which entity was the proper publisher of RSS. One product of that contentious debate was the creation of an alternative syndication format, Atom, that began in June 2003.<a href="#cite_note-15" title="">[16]</a> The Atom syndication format, whose creation was in part motivated by a desire to get a clean start free of the issues surrounding RSS, has been adopted as <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF" title="IETF" class="mw-redirect">IETF</a> Proposed Standard <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512/http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287" class="external" title="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4287">RFC 4287</a>. In July 2003, Winer and UserLand Software assigned the copyright of the RSS 2.0 specification to Harvard's <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Law_School" title="Harvard Law School">Berkman Center for the Internet & Society</a>, where he had just begun a term as a visiting fellow.<a href="#cite_note-16" title="">[17]</a> At the same time, Winer launched the <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_Advisory_Board" title="RSS Advisory Board">RSS Advisory Board</a> with <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Simmons" title="Brent Simmons" class="mw-redirect">Brent Simmons</a> and <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Udell" title="Jon Udell">Jon Udell</a>, a group whose purpose was to maintain and publish the specification and answer questions about the format.<a href="#cite_note-17" title="">[18]</a> In December 2005, the Microsoft Internet Explorer team<a href="#cite_note-18" title="">[19]</a> and Outlook team<a href="#cite_note-19" title="">[20]</a> announced on their blogs that they were adopting the feed icon first used in the <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox" title="Mozilla Firefox">Mozilla Firefox</a> <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Browser" title="Web Browser" class="mw-redirect">browser</a> <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Feed-icon.svg" class="image" title="Feed-icon.svg"><img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512im_/http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Feed-icon.svg/16px-Feed-icon.svg.png" width="16" height="16" border="0"/></a>. A few months later, <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Software" title="Opera Software">Opera Software</a> followed suit. This effectively made the orange square with white radio waves the industry standard for RSS and Atom feeds, replacing the large variety of icons and text that had been used previously to identify syndication data. In January 2006, <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Cadenhead" title="Rogers Cadenhead">Rogers Cadenhead</a> relaunched the RSS Advisory Board without Dave Winer's participation, with a stated desire to continue the development of the RSS format and resolve ambiguities. In June 2007, the board revised their version of the specification to confirm that namespaces may extend core elements with namespace attributes, as Microsoft has done in Internet Explorer 7. According to their view, a difference of interpretation left publishers unsure of whether this was permitted or forbidden. <a name="Variants" id="Variants"></a> <h2>[<a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RSS&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Variants">edit</a>] Variants</h2> As noted above, there are several different versions of RSS, falling into two major branches (RDF and 2.*). The RDF, or RSS 1.* branch includes the following versions: <ul> <li>RSS 0.90 was the original Netscape RSS version. This RSS was called <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework" title="Resource Description Framework">RDF</a> Site Summary, but was based on an early working draft of the RDF standard, and was not compatible with the final RDF Recommendation.</li> <li>RSS 1.0 is an open format by the <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS-DEV_Working_Group" title="RSS-DEV Working Group">RSS-DEV Working Group</a>, again standing for RDF Site Summary. RSS 1.0 is an RDF format like RSS 0.90, but not fully compatible with it, since 1.0 is based on the final RDF 1.0 Recommendation.</li> <li>RSS 1.1 is also an open format and is intended to update and replace RSS 1.0. The specification is an independent draft not supported or endorsed in any way by the RSS-Dev Working Group or any other organization.</li> </ul> The RSS 2.* branch (initially UserLand, now Harvard) includes the following versions: <ul> <li>RSS 0.91 is the simplified RSS version released by Netscape, and also the version number of the simplified version originally championed by <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Winer" title="Dave Winer">Dave Winer</a> from Userland Software. The Netscape version was now called Rich Site Summary; this was no longer an RDF format, but was relatively easy to use.</li> <li>RSS 0.92 through 0.94 are expansions of the RSS 0.91 format, which are mostly compatible with each other and with Winer's version of RSS 0.91, but are not compatible with RSS 0.90. In all Userland RSS 0.9x specifications, RSS was no longer an acronym.</li> <li>RSS 2.0.1 has the internal version number 2.0. RSS 2.0.1 was proclaimed to be "frozen", but still updated shortly after release without changing the version number. RSS now stood for Really Simple Syndication. The major change in this version is an explicit extension mechanism using XML namespaces.<a href="#cite_note-W3C_REC_XML_Namespace-20" title="">[21]</a></li> </ul> For the most part, later versions in each branch are <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backward_compatibility" title="Backward compatibility">backward-compatible</a> with earlier versions (aside from non-conformant RDF syntax in 0.90), and both versions include properly documented extension mechanisms using XML Namespaces, either directly (in the 2.* branch) or through RDF (in the 1.* branch). Most syndication software supports both branches. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512/http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss" class="external text" title="http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss" rel="nofollow">"The Myth of RSS Compatibility"</a>, an article written in 2004 by RSS critic and <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard)" title="Atom (standard)">Atom</a> advocate <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Pilgrim" title="Mark Pilgrim">Mark Pilgrim</a>, discusses RSS version compatibility issues in more detail. The extension mechanisms make it possible for each branch to track innovations in the other. For example, the RSS 2.* branch was the first to support <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_Enclosures" title="RSS Enclosures" class="mw-redirect">enclosures</a>, making it the current leading choice for podcasting, and as of 2005<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RSS&action=edit" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RSS&action=edit" rel="nofollow">[update]</a> is the format supported for that use by <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes" title="ITunes">iTunes</a> and other podcasting software; however, an enclosure extension is now available for the RSS 1.* branch, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512/http://www.xs4all.nl/~foz/mod_enclosure.html" class="external text" title="http://www.xs4all.nl/~foz/mod_enclosure.html" rel="nofollow">mod_enclosure</a>. Likewise, the RSS 2.* core specification does not support providing full-text in addition to a synopsis, but the RSS 1.* markup can be (and often is) used as an extension. There are also several common outside extension packages available, including a new proposal from <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft" title="Microsoft">Microsoft</a> for use in <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer" title="Internet Explorer">Internet Explorer</a> 7. The most serious compatibility problem is with HTML markup. Userland's RSS reader—generally considered as the reference implementation—did not originally filter out <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML" title="HTML">HTML</a> markup from feeds. As a result, publishers began placing HTML markup into the titles and descriptions of items in their RSS feeds. This behavior has become expected of readers, to the point of becoming a <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_facto" title="De facto">de facto</a> standard, though there is still some inconsistency in how software handles this markup, particularly in titles. The RSS 2.0 specification was later updated to include examples of entity-encoded HTML; however, all prior plain text usages remain valid. As of January 2007<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RSS&action=edit" class="external text" title="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=RSS&action=edit" rel="nofollow">[update]</a>, tracking data from www.syndic8.com indicates that the three main versions of RSS in current use are 0.91, 1.0, and 2.0. Of these, RSS 0.91 accounts for 13 percent of worldwide RSS usage and RSS 2.0 for 67 percent, while RSS 1.0 has a 17 percent share.<a href="#cite_note-21" title="">[22]</a> These figures, however, do not include usage of the rival web feed format <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(standard)" title="Atom (standard)">Atom</a>.

To accomplish this extension, a tightly controlled vocabulary (in the RSS world, "module"; in the XML world, "schema") is declared through an <a href="/web/20081217025512/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_namespace" title="XML namespace">XML namespace</a> to give names to concepts and relationships between those concepts.
