Syndication

Syndication - is the process of making a summary of a Web site's information available to other Web sites and applications (Information and Content Management, chapter 3, page 2).

Still confused as to what this means? Do you add a Web page to your favourites or bookmarks in your web browser? Do you get updates from Facebook of new messages? What about new emails in your email account inbox from something you've subscribed to? This is all the process of Syndication.

It's all about Web feed. A lot of Web sites contain information that can be updated and clients who are subscribed to that service might want to know when that information is ready to be received.

[more to come...]
