Fedora Atom is a serialization of a Fedora Digital Object using the Atom Syndication Format RFC 4287 in conjunction with the Atom Threading Extensions RFC 4685.

Many of the programming languages and platforms used with Fedora already provide libraries and tools for working with Atom feeds. By offering an Atom serialization of Fedora objects, these now become tools and libraries for authoring, browsing and validating Fedora digital objects as well.
