解説
問 74
- ア
正解 The correct answer is ア. RSS (RDF Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication) is a standard that lets blogs and news sites distribute (syndicate) the headline, summary, update time, and link of new articles in a machine-readable format. An RSS reader (feed reader) periodically fetches the RSS feeds of the several sites a user has registered in advance, and shows the information about new articles together in one list. In other words, without visiting each blog one by one, the user can check on the RSS reader screen which site added what kind of article and when, and can jump to the full text from the link of an article that looks interesting. Therefore what an RSS reader displays is article information collected from blogs, so ア is the correct description.
Incorrectイ
Displaying statistical information obtained by analyzing access logs (number of visitors, page views, referrers, and so on) is the role of an access analysis tool. That is a mechanism for the blog owner to grasp how their own site is being viewed, and it differs from RSS both in purpose and in the data it handles, since RSS distributes and subscribes to article update information.
Incorrectウ
What provides a management screen for posting, editing, and publishing articles is the posting function on the blog service side, or a CMS (content management system). An RSS reader is a tool used by the reading side (the subscriber), and it has no function for writing or managing articles.
Incorrectエ
Design template images are materials prepared by the blog service so that users can choose the appearance of their blog (layout or color scheme). What an RSS feed carries is text-centered update information such as headlines, summaries, and links, and providing template images is not a function of an RSS reader.
ここがポイント
- RSS is a format (feed) for distributing the headline, summary, update time, and link of a site's new articles in a structured form.
- An RSS reader (feed reader) is a tool on the subscriber's side: it automatically fetches the feeds of the registered sites and lists the information about new articles. Its role is different from access analysis, from a management screen for posting articles, and from providing design templates.
