SW Example: Newsfeed
W3C stores metadata about its own homepage news
using a vocabulary called RSS
Other news services extract these news items...
...and incorporate them in their own news services
For example:
Meerkat of O'Reilly,
or
NewsIsFree.com
The metadata is stored publicly; no extra procedure is
necessary to get the news
It is also be possible for third parties to publish metadata
about the W3C home page news!
