Science Publishers and RSS 1.0 RSS 1.0 leading among science publishers. It appears that publishers affiliated with science have a strong preference for the RDF branch of the RSS family tree, meaning the 1.0 version: As a science publisher we are used to handling citation metadata and are thus more inclined to use the extensible format, as this allows us to bundle rich descriptive metadata along with the staples of all RSS feeds, i.e., titles, links and (optionally) descriptions. We see RSS as providing an information backbone on which new application opportunities can be built. We note that other science publishers are now beginning to provide RSS and often are also choosing to adopt the RDF flavour. This in our opinion is fortunate, as the RDF data model readily allows for the merging of different descriptions. Thus, aggregates of multiple RSS feeds can be simply merged together as well as with descriptions coming from other sources, allowing rich information structures to be created. The reason this is possible is that the RDF data model builds upon a set of triples (subject, predicate, object), and merging of two arbitrary descriptions is as simple as concatenating the two sets of triples. By contrast, merging of two arbitrary XML documents requires schema negotiation -- knowledge of both the input schemas and the output schema is required. There is an interesting sidebar in this article on the issue of faux simplicity: Some supporters of the 'Really Simple Syndication' branch hold to the 'view source' argument, although as many who have looked at HTML pages from one of today's content-rich websites will know, these pages are generally produced programmatically and are not manufactured by hand. There is anyway an underlying paradox at work: apparent simplicity leads to a downstream complexity, while seeming complexity finds for a future simplicity. One might think of this in terms of comparing HTML with XML. (The 'view source' argument is that data formats should be human-readable). [the weblog of Lucas Gonze] 2:54:53 PM
