It is a way to gather collections of Web resources (links, RSS feeds, multimedia files), organize them as outlines, and publish them in a format that others can share and even subscribe to. In this article, the author discusses the strengths and limitations of the OPML format and explains how it can help people create and share dynamic outlines. The author walks the reader through the creation of their first OPML file and offers suggestions on creating and sharing reading lists, research and information guides, and outlines.
