Rss engine or worm

RSS feeds , one of the Realy Suitable Services of web 2.0 in libray reference services/current awareness services has been accepted by librarians,ovationaly. Librarians use RSS to keep up-to-date or to make their library clintels keep themselves up-to-date in any interested topic.

I was thinking to an ideal association that follows standards as rules in any web 2.0 facets or social network sercices . I found that , Rss engine or worm (using worm as postfix)is something like association or collaboration to better utilization of RSS. Although, it is not the exact standardization that i was searcing for information about that. But it is an aggregation that bring together scattered pices of information. It searchs related RSSs and collects data from internet through RSS feeds.MedWorm is one of them.Medworm created by Franki.Presently there are seven associations in medical specialities including:

Pathology,Orthopaedics,Psychology,Pediatrics,Health, Medicine and and Bioethics Commentators,Medical Databases and Libraries,Genetics.
