Abstract
This specification defines the Simple Semantics Resolution (SSR) Module for
the RSS 2.0 syndication format. The purpose of SSR is to provide a mechanism
by which the semantics of an RSS 2.0 document can be unambiguously resolved
to an RDF model. This is done by declaring the RSS 2.0 file as being an RDF
representation and provide a mapping between the RSS 2.0 syntax and the RDF
model. The mapping is declared using XSLT to give an RSS 1.0-based
representation, this RDF/XML serialization providing anchorage to the RDF
model.
Put simply: an element is added to the source RSS 2.0 document which
declares "this is RDF, and here is the mapping". This has absolutely no
effect on the interpretation of the document as RSS 2.0 within the bounds of
that specification, but enables the contents of RSS 2.0 files to be
considered first class material for the Semantic Web.
