Markus,

You can use existing standards to achieve these goals, as is already
demonstrated. Fundamentally, you can use RDF Language to describe
anything for machine processing, and of course that includes feeds, and
the nature of said feeds (formats, deltas, refresh schedules etc..).

Standards and technology aren't the problem here, so let's not frame
matters that way, for broad clarity.
