1. A computer-implemented method for generating a feed entry for a syndicated data feed, the method comprising:
- receiving feed data to include in an entry in the syndicated data feed, wherein the feed data is generated from a collection of source data;
receiving extended feed data to include in the syndicated data feed, wherein the extended feed data includes the collection of source data used to generate the feed data;
generating, from the feed data and the extended feed data, the entry to include in the syndicated data feed; and
publishing the entry for the syndicated data feed to a feed server executing in a networked computing environment.

Abstract
A content syndication system is disclosed where a syndicated data feed entry may include whatever information contributed to the content of that feed entry. Doing so allows business reporting and analytics tools to consume both the feed information (e.g., a summary of a report) and the underlying data (e.g., a collection of database records). A feed-reader application that does not understand the extended feed data (i.e., the information which contributed to the content of the feed entry) simply disregards the extended content. Thus, the extended feeds may be included in email messages, documents and other packaging and delivery mechanisms since no additional information is needed to consume or render formatted content.
