In this Birds of a Feather, I'd like to discuss uses of RSS above and beyond typical news story dissemination. We have experience with using RSS as a primary data advertisement technology for military command and control systems. As such, it is important for us to understand/influence best practices for such things as:

• Security support
• Conditional data updates
• Geo-spatial and time representation (geoRSS)
• RSS to DB/Web service mapping tools

I'd like to openly discuss what we and others have done in these areas and how to best converge on approaches for wider acceptance by the RSS community.
