of potential interest: We have two features this week relating to the use of RSS 1.0. The first is on the version of the syndication specification that uses the W3C's Resource Description Framework, or RDF. Tony Hammond explains why RSS 1.0 has turned out to be a good solution for his work in syndicating metadata for publishers. The extra metadata that publishers use is well supported by the RDF foundation of RSS 1.0.
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/23/rssone.html> In our second feature, Danny Ayers follows on from Hammond in explaining how you might set about extending RSS 1.0 for your own particular applications, taking as his example software product releases. Ayers covers reusing other existing vocabularies, and maintaining RSS 2.0 compatibility. <http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/07/23/extendingrss.html>
