About RSS
RSS is an XML based document format for syndicating news and other timely news-like
information. It provides headlines, URLs to the source document and brief description
information in an easy to understand and use format. RSS based "News Readers" and "News
Aggregators" allow the display of RSS headlines on workstation desktops. Software
libraries exist to read the RSS format and present RSS headlines on webpages
and other online applications.
These NWS supplied RSS documents use the RSS 2.0 format. Each
RSS item links to the html/web documents described above. Additional
technical information is available from the following non-US Government
