What is RSS?

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication (or for Rich Site Summary or RDF Site Summary). Originally developed for the transmission and exchange of messages, it is increasingly being used by private parties to receive specific information about selected themes.

In technical terms, RSS is an XML-based format that allow content to be read irrespective of the platform used.

What advantages does RSS offer?

Users of our RSS feeds are kept constantly up to date about issues in which they have an interest. They do not have to select information from a flood of newsletters, but rather can quickly and effectively keep abreast of current news and events of interest. Other advantages, in addition to the targeted selection of information, are regular delivery and a reduction in download times and traffic.

What do I need in order to use a RSS Feed?

To use an RSS feed, a reader program - usually an RSS reader, or "newsreader" - is required. After you specify the frequency of updates (for example once daily), this program continuously provides you with current news items in the form of headlines and brief texts. If a certain article interests you, simply click on it and it will open in your browser. In addition, browsers such as Firefox and Safari now support RSS as well.
