Welcome back to our short series on RSS Submission and Syndication. Today I am going to briefly talk about RSS 1.0. The reason I'm covering it is because RSS 1.0 is still a widely used format to this day. If you have read my other articles than you already know that RSS had gone through a series of changes before landing in it's current 2.0 format, but the 1.0 format had a couple of unique aspects to it.
In late 2000 a group of developers lead by Rael Dornfest had worked on and finished RSS version 1.0. This version of RSS went back to the RDF format that RSS previously used. In version 1.0 the extended functionality was needed and added to allow developers to write the code to suit their needs. There were 3 basic modules included in RSS 1.0. They were:
The Dublin Core Module: It includes specific data - creator, title, creation time, publisher, and so forth.
The Syndication Module: It gave hints for content syndication in relation to how often it was updated.
The Content Module: This allowed for sending the actual text of an item.
Now while all of those sound complicated, don't worry - they are. The complication of RSS Version 1.0 is one of the major reasons for the revision to 2.0 at a later date. However, a lot of feed directories till accept submissions from RSS 1.0 feeds and they still syndicate a lot of material based off of the version 1 format. And now you know what sets version 1.0 apart from the others between the complication and the 3 main modules.
