Simple Sharing Extensions are extensions to RSS developed by Ray Ozzie, Chief Software Architect at Microsoft. Dave Winer, the designer of the Userland RSS variants, has given input for the specifications. The standard is released under the Creative Commons Licence.
The objective of Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE) is to define the minimum extensions necessary to enable loosely-cooperating apps
- to use RSS as the basis for item sharing – that is, the bi-directional, asynchronous replication of new and changed items amongst two or more cross-subscribed feeds.
- to use OPML as the basis for outline sharing – that is, the bi-directional, asynchronous replication of outlines, such as RSS aggregators subscription lists.
Simple Sharing extends the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) 2.0 and Outline Processor Markup Language (OPML) 1.0 specifications
