Web feeds allow users to retrieve new content from pages on the World Wide Web. Feeds are offered by a multitude of web pages, ranging from conventional news sites to pages with user generated content such as wikis, forums or personal blogs. They notify interested readers of new content and are therefore interesting for information retrieval tasks. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive dataset of feeds publicly available, making it difficult for researchers to work with this kind of data and, more importantly, to compare their research results by using a common dataset.
