RSS 1.0 Specification Proposal

------------------------------



Abstract

--------

RSS ("RDF Site Summary") is a lightweight multipurpose

extensible metadata description and syndication format.  RSS is

an XML application, conforms to the W3C's RDF Specification

and is extensible via XML-namespace and/or RDF based modularization.



Design Goals

------------

The modular extension of existing RSS through XML Namespaces and RDF

stressing backward compatibility with RSS 0.9 for ease of adoption

by existing syndicated content producers.
