The Rich Site Summary (or RSS) is a format pioneered by Netscape to describe the contents of a web page.  It was later adopted for a multitude of applications (such as WebLogs and other news feeds).  It was considerably enhanced by DaveWiner from [Userland Software|http://www.userland.com], and later on extended into an [RDF] version by the RSS-DEV working group.
