Description
Really Simply Syndication or Rich Site Summary (RSS) now becomes
common way of summarizing content of an information website.- This is
based on Resource Description Format ( RDF), which is an extensible
markup language(XML) standard for analyzing information. Many an
organization such as CNN, YAHOO generates summary of the content of
her website in this xml format called rss feed, which can be read by news
aggregators such as rss reader and feed reader or processed by some
programming languages. News aggregators make it poss.ible to get
updated information. from various websites simultaneously without
visiting the websites.
Today in Nigeria .. there are over twenty national dailies. While few are
online. yet it is mandatory to visit these websites individually to get latest
information. To improve on the usability of these sites, it becomes
necessary to generate rss feeds for those who prefer getting information
from these websites using news aggregators.
