hi Lydia,
I was wondering whether you are aware of the ResourceSync framework [1] for web-based resource synchronization that was specified in 2012-2013 by NISO and the Open Archives Initiative, which previously specified the Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) [2] and Object Reuse and Exchange (OAI-ORE) [3].
ResourceSync contains pull-oriented mechanisms for resource synchronization, specified in ANSI/NISO Z39.99-2014 [4]. But it also contains push-oriented, notification mechanisms that are based on PubSubHubbub. While fully compatible with PubSubHubbub, ResourceSync's notifications do not require a feed at the end of the party that notifies about changes. Rather notifications are directly pushed to a hub that relays them to subscribers.The notification spec [5] is currently in beta. Compliant software is at [6].
ResourceSync also includes provisions to convey metadata and links pertaining to a resource that is subject to synchronization as well as mechanisms that support third parties to discover which synchronization mechanisms a server supports.
For a quick intro to ResourceSync , see the 16-minute video [7] or the slide deck [8].
I felt like bringing ResourceSync to your attention as it seems relevant to the work you are doing.
Greetings

Hey folks :)
Wikimedia Germany has been working with a team of students over the past months. They have among other things developed a pubsubhubbub extension. The idea is that we allow 3rd parties to easily subscribe to changes made on Wikidata or any other wiki. Wikidata's changes get send to a hub which then notifies all subscribers who are interested in the change. We'd like to get this extension deployed for Wikidata and possibly later other Wikimedia projects. For this they need some more eyes to review them. RobLa suggested I send an email to wikitech-l about it. The review bugs for this are https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67117 and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67118 Thanks for your help getting this ready for deployment.
Cheers Lydia
