Feeding Feeds and Meta-Feeds
The services documented on this page are in a beta-stage of development:
- Availability may vary;
- URLs, methods and parameters are subject to change without notice.
About our Feeds and Query-URLs
- News-Feed
- A computer-readable file containing headlines, summaries and links for new content of a site
- Enables users or applications to keep track of the latest content
- Provides dynamically updated headlines by incorporating feeds into webpages
All our feeds are valid XML / RDF according to the RSS 1.0 format [Specification].

- W3C RDF Validation Service
Author Feeds
A URL in the form:
/xml/author.php?name=author_name&articles=n
generates a feed with n articles in chronological order; if no value is provided for ‘articles’ the default value is 15; if the value of ‘articles’ is ‘all’, a file with all articles of the given author is created.
Syntax errors or illegal values redirect the request to /xml/feeds.xml.
Meta-Feed: Authors
The query:
/xml/author.php?name=all
generates a feed of all author’s feeds, e.g. a table of content of authors and their feed-URLs.
Experimental
A URL in the form:
/xml/author_and_subject.php?name=author_name&articles=n&subject=topic
/xml/author_and_subject.php?name=alexander_becker&subject=tutorial
restricts the listed items to the topic given in ‘subject’, if existent.
Feature Feeds
A URL in the form:
/xml/feature.php?title=feature
generates a feed with all the articles appearing in the feature.
Syntax errors or illegal values redirect the request to /xml/feeds.xml.
Note: The feed shows only articles; the web-pages contain more information, e.g. documents, resources, and news items.
Meta-Feed: Features
The query:
/xml/feature.php?title=all
generates a feed of all feature’s feeds, e.g. a table of content of features and their feed-URLs.
Newly created features will appear in this feed.
Feed of Meta-Feeds
To complete the cascade, we provide a meta-meta-feed, holding the links to the available meta-feeds.
