What is Atom, and why you might be interested
Karen Schneider said people don’t care about standards; lots of standards propagation within libraries, tend not to look outside
– most think of Atom as a syndication feed
– looking at elements, can see metadata markup (title, date stamp, entries with titles, authors, etc)
Representational State Transfer (REST)
– application state and functionality are divided
– resources are uniquely addressable (uri)
– uniform interface for the transfer of state between client and resource (http)
Atom + REST = Atom Publishing Protocol (APP)
