RSS and Atom tags
Comparison of Atom and RSS stream format tags in RDF versions 1.0 and 2.0
Container tag
| Atom | RSS 2.0 | RSS 1.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container | rss | rss: RDF |
The RSS RDF format has a namespace tag for the container:
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" >
Channel tag
| Atom | RSS 2.0 | RSS 1.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container | stern | channel | channel |
| Name | tittle | tittle | tittle |
| URL-ADDRESS | reference | reference | reference |
| Resume Summary | subtitle | description | description |
| Date | updated | lastBuildDate | dc: date |
| Logo | icon | image | image |
| Author | author | managingEditor |
The basic RSS 1.0 format does not have a publish or modify date tag, it can be added using an optional extension module such as Dublin Core.
Article tag
| Atom | RSS 2.0 | RSS 1.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container | sign in | question | question |
| Name | tittle | tittle | tittle |
| URL-ADDRESS | reference | reference | reference |
| Description | summary | description | description |
| Date | updated | AdvertisementDate | dc: date |
| Image | logo | image |
When Atom is the last modified date and Atom is the first released date. Only the former really seems useful in the stream.
Image tag
| Atom | RSS 2.0 | RSS 1.0 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Container | logo | image | image |
| Name | tittle | tittle | |
| Article URL | reference | reference | |
| Image file URL | url | url |
The Atom format also uses an icon equivalent to a favicon.
