European Union Use Of RSS
November 21st, 2004After reading about RSS use in U.S. Government, Fredrik of Corporate Blogging decided to look for feeds from the European Union. He was semi-impressed with what he found.
“Most interesting, I think, is the feeds of the European Environment Agency’s State of the Environment Reporting Information System (SERIS). It is a bit difficult to find the feeds, but if you choose any of the countries or biogeographical regions you will find a button that says ‘For Webmasters / XML’ (example UK). Basically SERIS is an environmental report system.
More examples:
The portal to European Union law, EUR-lex, offers channels for news and information from the Official Journal of the EU.
The European Environment Information and Observation Network (EIONET) has a number of different feeds, for example news releases and announcements.
Finally Interchange of Data Between Administrations - a European programme using advances in information and communication technology to support electronic exchange of information between public administrations across Europe - is also publishing RSS.”
