More RSS in Government

October 17th, 2004

From a sidebar to an article in FCW entitled, “Finetuning Needed”:

“‘We frequently get calls from other agencies wanting to know how they can bring our information inside their infrastructure,’ said Vivian Mackey, OPM’s agencywide Web site manager. To meet this need, OPM officials came up with a way for other agency leaders to incorporate news from the OPM site directly into their sites: Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a format for distributing information based on Extensible Markup Language. By downloading XML content, Webmasters can stream OPM news at other agencies.”

You can find 3 feeds on the OPM site: What’s New, News Releases, and Operating Status.
