Motivation[edit]
Web feeds allow software programs to check for updates published on a web site. To provide a web feed, a site owner may use specialized software (such as a content management system) that publishes a list (or "feed") of recent articles or content in a standardized, machine-readable format. The feed can then be downloaded by web sites that syndicate content from the feed, or by feed reader programs that allow Internet users to subscribe to feeds and view their content.
In the PubMan context the following syndications can be reasonable for the moment:
- new submitted/changed items for the current Organizational Unit
- each advanced search for the logged in user
- Workspace: latest submissions
Different formats[edit]
For the moment there are 2 main branches of formats of the Web Syndication Feeds: RSS and Atom
