Syndication

From Gateway to Gov

In an effort to provide complete transparency all issues, solutions and ranking information will be made available in the form of XML data feeds. These feeds will serve two purposes: First, they provide accountability by allowing others to verify the poll results achieved on the site. Second, they provide the ability for the issues being discussed on the site to be syndicated on third party websites. For example, major media outlets may decide to incorporate the top ten national issues on their website; or an individual who blogs on local topics might decide to display the current activity in their area. Freely available data feeds allow individuals and organizations to be continually updated about issues being discussed on Gateway to Gov.
