Subscribe RSS FeedGeoRSS is rising technology for encoding location as part of an Web feed to create feed channels to flow content across the web. GeoRSS feeds with location information will deliver content such as news articles, audio blogs, video blogs and text blog entries. Programs such as aggregators and web browsers render these web feeds with RSS which is the most known Web feed and syndication format.
In GeoRSS, location content consists of geographical points, lines, and polygons of interest and related feature descriptions. GeoRSS feeds are designed to be consumed by geographic software such as location map generators.
At this juncture, the GeoRSS collaboration has accomplished work on two primary encodings which are known as GeoRSS Geography Markup Language and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS GML is a formal Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML Application Profile, and supports many features than GeoRSS Simple and it will remarkably coordinate reference systems other than WGS84 latitude/longitude. This module can be used to extend both RSS 1.0 and 2.0, as well as Atom and other latest standard for feeds.
