Proposed Standards
The Atom Syndication Format
RFC 4287 (Proposed Standard)
The Atom Publishing Protocol
RFC 5023 (Proposed Standard) (
Japanese translation)
The Atom Publishing Format and Protocol WG has concluded. Per the announcement on IETF-Announce:
The AtomPub WG was chartered to work on two items: the syndication format in RFC4287, and the publishing protocol in RFC5023. Implementations of these specs have been shown to work together and interoperate well to support publishing and syndication of text content and media resources. Since both documents are now Proposed Standards, the WG has completed its charter and therefore closes as a WG. A mailing list will remain open for further discussion.
