Consider
For each website you build, please consider providing the relevant reuse tools:
- automatic notifications for content that might change or new publications matching your preferences – e.g. publications, data sets, events agenda;
- RSS feeds allowing subscription to a specific content;
- widgets to allow reuse of important parts of content by other applications.
