1. Introduction 1. Introduction
This specification adds mechanisms to the Atom Syndication Format Atom [RFC4287] is an XML-based document format that describes lists
which publishers of Atom Feed and Entry documents can use to of related information known as "feeds". Feeds are composed of a
explicitly identify Atom entries that have been removed. number of items, known as "entries", each with an extensible set of
attached metadata. The primary use case that Atom addresses is the
syndication of Web content such as weblogs and news headlines to Web
sites as well as directly to user agents.
In the base Atom format, when an entry is removed from a feed, but a
consumer has already received and processed that entry, perhaps
adding it to a local cache or display, there is no mechanism for
determining that the entry has been removed. This specification adds
a mechanism to the Atom Syndication Format that publishers of Atom
Feed and Entry documents can use to explicitly identify Atom entries
that have been removed. Atom consumers can use that information to
adjust such things as their document cache and user interfaces.
