Copyright © 2002, 2003 Jan Gylta, Robert Barta

When you consider to distribute content to subscribers your current choice might be RSS for simple headline syndication. In this article we demonstrate how a translation between RSS and TMSS, a Topic Map based incarnation of headline syndication might be integrated into today's web sites. In the course we present a constraint language for Topic Maps which may be used for a richer and more flexible content transfer.
