Sharing data and feeds
The subject centre website is full of (hopefully) useful resources and information on pages such as this one that you can visit using your web browser. We have tried to make their organisation as easy and visually appealing as possible for you to access.
However, this is not the only way in which our resources can be accessed. We also make a lot of our information and resources available in other data formats, so that other programs or websites may syndicate or display our content. For instance, our RSS feeds may be used by someone with a desktop RSS feed reader program to have event updates delivered, or pulled into another another website to display a list of recent news from us.
What we provide
RSS feeds
We provide a number of RSS feeds including news and event information. For more information on what RSS is and what feeds we provide, please visit our RSS information page.
iCal feeds
iCal is a standard used by calendaring programs such as Microsoft Outlook and Apple iCal, as well as some websites like google calendar. On forthcoming events pages we provide a iCal file to download that event to your calendar program. We also have a large iCal file which lists all our forthcoming events
hCal page
hCal is another standard for displaying calendar information about an event in a webpage. It is part of the microformats movement. We provide a web page listing all our forthcoming events in this format.
