Statistics Finland's RSS feeds

What is RSS?

RSS (Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) is an online content publication format. The data provider encodes online contents into the RSS format and the recipient receives a notification of new contents via an RSS feed reader software. RSS provides quick notifications of changes and updates to web pages; the users do not need to monitor the site.

How is RSS installed?

RSS is installed by defining the address of the RSS feed into the reader software.

Firefox and Explorer 7 browsers show an RSS icon whenever RSS feed is available on the site. Users can subscribe to the feed by clicking on the button. A separately installed RSS reader software can also be used.
