IPA IP 2021 Question 93
A question IPA Japan published in 令和3年度 ITパスポート試験 公開問題 問93, translated into English. ITPEC is based on the same exams.
Which of the following is the most appropriate content that is displayed by an RSS reader used in blog services?
Explanation
Information on articles collected from blogs — an RSS reader gathers the feeds of the blogs a user subscribes to and shows their new articles.
A blog publishes an RSS feed, an XML file listing each new article's title, link, summary and date. The RSS reader checks the subscribed feeds regularly and lists what has been posted, so the reader can follow many blogs without visiting each one.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- •(b) — the number of visitors comes from the blog's access analysis (access logs), which only the blog's owner sees
- •(c) — the screen for managing posted articles is the blog service's administration page for the author, not something a feed carries
- •(d) — design templates set how the blog itself looks; a feed carries the articles' information, not their design
Key rule: RSS is a feed of a site's new articles (title, link, summary); an RSS reader collects those feeds from many sites in one place.
