There are always some sites to provide a series of articles, events, and other records for sharing and cross-references. As the Web is a large part of the session, many people in the community come together to develop a XML-based standard for such exchanges and cross-references. Atom is the crystallization of these efforts, which is a format and API for swaping web metadata. Uche ogbuji introduced Atom in this article. Please in this article

The battle between RSS is known in the XML community. Netscape puts this lightweight format together for chain, which is gathered in the portal to the portal. Since this low-key starting point, even the meaning of this abbreviation is also controversial. WebLogs and next-generation portals have made the exchange of Web resources into a general and important phenomenon. Various genre RSS ruled the world of metadata exchange, and there is no risky RSS dispute. A well-known technical expert who has been involved in this conflict is the Sam Ruby of IBM Emerging Technology Group. In the mid-2003 mid-term, RRS proposed by experts and users in all aspects of the related chain formats jointly developed the next generation format. Part of the purpose is to establish a standard that takes into account various factions, order the RSS dispute. Another goal is to establish a more complete design to replace different RSS style. According to the practical design of many RSS users, this practical design is compromised, so that new formats are consistent with the WEB architecture and cultural coordination. A large number of developers and authors will join the project, which is obviously disappointed because there is no endless smoke and conspiracy in RSS, which expects a new solution to the technical problems discussed. The project is initially referred to as ECHO, but is renamed atom due to trademark issues. As at the Atom Wiki claims, the project is to establish a "Specification for Chain, Archive, and Edit Patient Sites". I think that the definition feature in the ATOM treatment is not only a Web site that naturally breaks down into a plot, but also the Web site that has session nature in interaction with other sites. The plot tend to have a cross index of similar entities on other sites, and atom is to bond this type of exchange. Atom has a lot of reasons, the most prominent point is that although as a community specification, as the result of the most huge organized committee, it remains simply. Atom includes Syndication Format Specification (currently 0.3 version, draft), which is an XML format that represents web resource information; and API Specification (current 0.9 version), based on HTTP retrieval and modify the Web Some of the conventions of resource information. Although there is currently only the API specification is officially submitted to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), both of the specifications are written in the format of Internet Draft, in order to eventually become RFC standards. In addition to XML syntax, Atom has developed RDF in the WEB ONTOLOGY LANGUAGE (OWL). The introduction of Atom is mainly placed on the XML format specification, but will also involve the API in the appropriate place. All ATOM specifications are still actively developed, which may also change before standardization, although the basic Atom style is likely to constantly. Create a web resource assumes that you want to create a Web magazine of a galley, called Stanza Web. You can use Atom update sites to list new poems, articles, and other albums, collect information from related other sites. The first step to do is to upload a popular reader's article. To this end, the Atom API specifies that the content is packaged in an XML document consisting of Atom Entry elements, and the document is sent to a web server on a particular URI Posturi as an HTTP POST message. Listing 1 is a such XML document. Listing 1. Send to Posturi to create an atport atom entry
