Information and Content Exchange
Encyclopedia : I : IN : INF : Information and Content Exchange
Information and Content Exchange (ICE) is an XML-based protocol used for content syndication via the Internet. By using XML both sender and receiver have an agreed-upon language in which to communicate. The system uses a Client-Server architecture.
On October 27, 1998 the completion of ICE 1.0 was announced at a press summit in San Francisco. In June 2004, a new, Web Services compliant version, ICE 2.0 was released to support industrial strength syndication for the next generation of the Web.
Content management is usually built into the ICE server.
