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.
Rice is a Ruby implementation of ICE 1.1. Both TwICE and Rice are developed and maintained by Jim Menard.
ICEcubes is the original Java reference implementation of ICE 1.1, although it has not been actively maintained since December, 2000.
