3.5: RSS/Atom information
Distribute government information as news feeds using RSS or Atom. Other Information:
Many pieces of information provided by governments are suitable for distribution as news feeds using RSS [RSS] or Atom [ATOM-SYND]
that are supported by a great number of tools including built-in support in most modern Web browsers. In this scenario, people
subscribe to a set of channels and get the information about e.g. government news, job openings, grants or acquisitions. One
of the core benefits for this approach is update notifications - when a piece of information is added or modified, subscribers
can easily get to know this. Information consumers only need a news feeds reader, which they use to subscribe and read the
information. The number of feeds provided by governments is constantly increasing and thousands are already available [GOV-FEEDS].
