GeoRSS is an emerging standard for encoding location as part of an Web feed. (Web feeds are used to describe feeds ("channels") of content, such as news articles, Audio blogs, video blogs and text blog entries. These web feeds are rendered by programs such as aggregators and web browsers.) The name "GeoRSS" is derivated from RSS, the most known Web feed and syndication format.

In GeoRSS, location content consists of geographical points, lines, and polygons of interest and related feature descriptions. GeoRSS feeds are designed to be consumed by geographic software such as map generators. By building these encodings on a common information model, the GeoRSS collaboration is promoting interoperability and "upwards-compatibility" across encodings.

At this point, the GeoRSS collaboration has completed work on two primary encodings that are called GeoRSS Geography Markup Language (GML) and GeoRSS Simple. GeoRSS GML is a formal Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GML Application Profile, and supports a greater range of features than GeoRSS Simple, notably coordinate reference systems other than WGS84 latitude/longitude. There is also a W3C GeoRSS serialization, which is older and partly deprecated but still the most widely used.

GeoRSS can be used to extend both RSS 1.0 and 2.0, as well as Atom, the IETF's latest standard for feeds.

How to automatically "linkify" location references in a RSS feed?
Q. I'm aware of , but want I would like is to be able to identify the text part that is a location, and from there be able to build links to different content that would be in context. The practical example is that I would like to import a plain text RSS feed, find what locations are mentioned, and on that words build links for wikipedia or any map Thanks, JL Thanks youngboy1606 , BUT that s not what I was asking for. I want to know how to deal with the geographic part of it. Not just simply using an RSS within some site or other project. I wanted to know if there is out-there any automatic service for doing it, better than the one from geonames ...
