FMN Spiral 3 Standards Profile

Taxonomy

Standards

Obligation: MANDATORY, Lifecycle: CURRENT

Web content providers must support at least one of the two standards (RSS and/or Atom).

Obligation: MANDATORY, Lifecycle: CURRENT

Receivers of web content such as news aggregators or user agents must support both the RSS and the ATOM standard.

Guidance

RSS and Atom documents should reference related OpenSearch description documents via the Atom 1.0 link element, as specified in Section 4.2.7 of RFC 4287.

The rel attribute of the link element should contain the value search when referring to OpenSearch description documents. This relationship value is pending IANA registration. The reuse of the Atom link element is recommended in the context of other syndication formats that do natively support comparable functionality.

The following restrictions apply

  • The type attribute must contain the value application/opensearchdescription+xml.
  • The rel attribute must contain the value search.
  • The href attribute must contain a URI that resolves to an OpenSearch description document.
  • The title attribute may contain a human-readable plain text string describing the search engine.
