RDF Site Summary (RSS) – inSilico- First came the announcement in July that Elsevier would expose their PRISM metadata in an RSS compliant manner. In doing so, libraries and end users could access tables of contents for Elsevier journals in their favorite tools.

…imagine being able to display the current issue’s TOC next to the PULinks logo in the online catalog, or having the RSS feed the EJournals page automatically without having to maintain a separate database or a kludged catalog record! That’s the power of XML — make the content providers do some of the work for you!
