Really Simple Syndication denotes both a procedure and a file format that are both used in the Internet in order to disseminate information in an especially effective manner. RSS is primarily used to distribute or exchange messages.
"Really simple syndication" of messages is based on the following concept: An RSS file is a machine-readable brief description of a document such as a topical newspaper article. As a rule, it contains the heading of the article as well is a concise summary. It also contains a link to the Internet address of the page in question where the described document can be called up. RSS is used above all in situations where the content of webpages is updated frequently.
