The world wide web today is a collection of staggering amounts of data increasing exponentially everyday. Representing this data in a useful format, and making it available to users on demand is a challenge that needs to be accepted and organized by people and organizations alike.
There are different ways in which user data can be represented but privacy policies, copyright infringements and ownership rights must be closely monitored. Chaos may result in case of copyrighted material being distributed on the Internet without proper authorization or quoting. Data can be educational, informative, entertaining, interactive or even personal data. The way it is shared should be acknowledged by the creators of the data, and the benefits of the data published should be reaped by companies hosting the data services.
RSS is an application that manages representation of data in an elegant way and promotes responsible use and sharing of data. The simple mechanism of choosing to share one's data and allowing other users to further promote the data is an excellent way to manage ownership right issues. Taking the example of search engines Google stores data of websites and returns them according to user bases searchers, keyword analysis, page ranking and crawlers. Therefore this depicts clearly intelligent management of data

"Intel inside" the phrase is so popular that every computer with such a sign clearly shows the technology backing the processes of any user's computer. Similarly the data that is being stored or published in the on-line world forms the intel of the data world we now use as the internet. Internet is a collection of data organized by search engines, and with the evolution of internet and increasing amounts of data, data management solutions, accurate representation, location based search results, will all prove beneficial in utilizing the data for personal and commercial purposes. Data representation needs to evolve into application in order to utilize the benefit of internet responsibly. This is my comprehension of the phrase data is the new Intel inside. Data not managed or not properly organized would yield something as depicted below for a common user.
