  Atom (standard) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The development of Atom was motivated by the existence of many incompatible versions of the RSS syndication format, all of which had shortcomings, and the poor interoperability [1] of XML-RPC-based publishing protocols.
Atom standardizes autodiscovery in contrast to the many non-standard variants used with RSS 2.0.
Atom specifies that dates be in the format described in RFC 3339 (which is a subset of ISO 8601).

 Tom’s Infinite Science Archive: Atom and Atomic Theory
When oxygen is taken as a standard and the oxygen atom is assigned a value of 16.0000 atomic mass units, helium is found to have an atomic weight of 4.003 atomic mass units, fluorine 19.000, and sodium 22.997.
This standard was used by chemists even after the rare isotopes of oxygen (oxygen-17 and oxygen-18) were discovered in 1929, because the small amounts of these isotopes in natural oxygen are relatively, although not absolutely, in constant proportion to the abundant isotope, oxygen-16.
That the atom is not a solid bit of matter, incapable of further subdivision, became evident with the discovery of radioactivity.

 Acorn Atom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Acorn Atom was a home computer made by Acorn Computers Ltd from 1981 to 1983 when it was replaced by the BBC Micro (originally Proton) and later the Acorn Electron.
The Atom was a progression of the MOS Technology 6502 based machines that the company had been making from 1979.
The kits of the Atom could be problematic for Acorn if the customer didn't have the relevant assembly skills - according to this article [1] one customer assembled his Atom with glue, logic dictating that the heat from the soldering iron would damage the kit.....

 Origins: CERN: Ideas: Standard Model
In a real atom, the protons and neutrons are far larger than quarks and electrons, and there would be much more empty space.
In fact, if this atom were the size of a large city, each proton and neutron would be the size of a person, and each quark and electron would be smaller than a tiny freckle.
Now we know that the atom is made of many smaller pieces, known as subatomic particles.

 Cover Pages: Atom as the New XML-Based Web Publishing and Syndication Format.
The key insights are these: design Atom such that content is not treated as a second class citizen (allow its conceptual model and syntax to blur the subjective distinction between metadata and data); insist upon a uniform mechanism for expressing the core concepts independent of the usage (e.g.
The Atom design is envisioned as extensible for different application areas (license terms, access control, content categorization, versioning, related resources, etc.) The core features are those common to most creations of intellectual works: source/author, editing date(s), resource identifier/location, and content.
The developers agree that Atom "will be vendor neutral, implemented by everybody, freely extensible by anybody, and cleanly and thoroughly specified." Atom is sometimes characterized as the successor to RSS, which is variably used for headline syndication, website metadata description, and content syndication.

 Example Feed
Atom Processors MAY keep state sourced from Atom Feed Documents and combine them with other Atom Feed Documents, in order to facilitate a contiguous view of the contents of a feed.
Atom Processors MAY use the IRI to retrieve the content and MAY choose to ignore remote content or to present it in a different manner than local content.
Spoofing Atom Processors should be aware of the potential for spoofing attacks where the attacker publishes an atom:entry with the atom:id value of an entry from another feed, perhaps with a falsified atom:source Nottingham & Sayre Standards Track [Page 31] RFC 4287 Atom Format December 2005 element duplicating the atom:id of the other feed.

 Atom (XML) - a definition from Whatis.com
Atom was designed to be a universal publishing standard for blogs and other Web sites where content is updated frequently.
Atom was originally developed as an alternative to RSS 2.0, the standard developed by Dave Winer and copyrighted by Harvard University, as a means of improving perceived shortcomings of the RSS format by the blogging community.
The current standard, 1.0, was submitted to the IETF to be an official protocol standard in late 2005 under than name "Atom Syndication Format." Atom has been adopted by many syndication tools, including Google's Blogger, Gmail and Google News.

 Discussion of Standard Model of the Atom 10/98   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Standard Model of the atom is based on the discoveries of the elementary particles that make up the atom.
The Standard Model has been possible because of the power of newer accelerators and the higher resolution of new generations of accelerator detectors, which track atomic "splinters." The model has been expressed in a chart, much like the periodic chart of the elements used by chemists.
When an electron moves through the lattice, its atoms are attracted to it, causing the electron's effective mass to be as much as 40 times bigger than the mass of the electron when it is free of the field.

 Cover Pages: Atom Publishing Format and Protocol
While Atom the Syndication Format has gone through the IETF process to become a standard, the standards committee is still at work on Atom the Publishing Protocol, although it seems likely that much of it has stabilized at this point.
Atom is remarkable for many reasons, but especially in how it has remained simple despite being the product of one of the largest committees that ever assembled itself for a community specification.
Atom is an alternative syndication format to RSS (Really Simple Syndication), and the rise of dueling formats has created disagreement, and at times acrimony, among their backers.

 Dave Winer's Test Site:
If Atom proposes to go up against RSS, this is what it's going up against.
It's a problem for at least one aggregator that the top level item in Atom is called "feed" -- not such a problem today, but later when another format comes along that also calls its top level item "feed." Formats in general should use a distinctive name for their top-level element.
Caveat: All of this was written quickly and should not be considered spec text, rather a request for comment.

 Atom: The Standard in Syndication
Many computing standards are hammered out by agreement between a comparatively small number of technology professionals and companies, for use almost solely by technically trained implementors.
Atom is an IETF effort to improve syndication interoperability while maintaining an approachable design.
Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) clients communicate with HTTP servers to add and edit source “entries.” From those source documents, the server can derive Atom feeds, HTML pages, and other resources to be shared with general-purpose client software, such as Web browsers.

Complementing this work is Uche Ogbuji's Processing Atom 1.0, a great primer for Python fans who want to consume the format that's output by all our platforms, as well as the Six Apart Update Stream.
The atomflow idea is a useful one: Atom is merely a tool for transferring weblog entry data between programs, and that goes for single purpose command line tools as much as it does web applications.
For example, using TypePad's Atom API support to publish from a client should be a nearly identical experience to Movable Type's Atom API implementation.

 XML.com: What Is Atom
And so, over the past three years, a volunteer development team has been building a format called Atom, which provides a formally-structured, and well-documented, system solely for the syndication of entire news articles and the like, as well as their respective payloads of metadata.
This edoc, which covers Atom and the two flavors of RSS--2.0 and 1.0--succinctly explains what a syndication feed is, then gets down to the nitty-gritty of what makes up a feed, how you can find and subscribe to them, and which feed will work best for you.
One of the key differences between the development of RSS and the development of Atom is that Atom's whole design process is held out in the open, on the Atom-Syntax mailing list and on the Atom wiki.

 RSS Won The Syndication Standard Battle
The adoption of a syndication standard was slowed by the struggle between Atom and RSS.
Along with the popularity surge of podcasting, which is based on the RSS 2.0 specification appears to have sealed the fate of the future syndication standard.
Though the purpose of RSS and Atom is the same, the specification itself is very different, making it difficult and time consuming for tool developers to move between the dual standard.

 Merger For Rival RSS/ATOM Formats?
Actually, if a new proposal by the co-author of the popular RSS (define) format catches on, it won't matter; both would merge into one protocol under a new proposal, a move that could nip the argument over the competing formats in the bud.
The creation of the Atom format last year by developers from IBM (Quote, Chart), Google and a host of blog tools vendors has led to acrimony among software engineers.
With momentum on his side, Winer said it would be reasonable to merge Atom with RSS in much the same way the RSS 2.0 version was created to be compatible with earlier versions.
