Folksonomy“…an Internet-based information retrieval methodology consisting of collaboratively generated, open-ended labels that categorize content such as Web pages, online photographs, and Web links. A folksonomy is most notably contrasted from a taxonomy in that the authors of the labeling system are often the main users (and sometimes originators) of the content to which the labels are applied.” (Wikipedia)

RSS• Really Simply Syndication• XML file format

– Universally readable by feed readers and podcatching software

• XML vs. RSS– Either term/button can refer to the existence

of a feed (RSS = process; XML = file format)

RSS XML

What does XML look like?  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd">
