18.1. Rich/rdf/really site summary feeds

RSS is an acronym that corresponds to one of the following standards, depending on the RSS version that you speak about: Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0), Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.9x), RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
RSS files are also called “RSS feeds” or “RSS channels” and are XML text-based files used for serving users’ frequently updated content. RSS files contain a list of items. Each item contains a title, a summary, a link to a URL and sometimes other information such as the date or the creator’s name. RSS files are utilised by news-sites or any other websites that offer reverse-chronologically ordered information
