Syndication And Distribution
XML systems can be used to collect and redistribute
information (syndication) and to make available
information that otherwise may not be found.
Syndication is a system of encouraging information
providers to make available synopses of their
resources in an XML format, then gathering the
synopses, aggregating them into a database or menu
system and then making them available.
Using RSS, an XML schema, information can be maintained
in many different locations yet easily aggregated onto a
central site. The University of Texas uses RSS to
gather campus news onto a central page.
