PURPOSE: An apparatus for providing an RSS service and a method thereof are provided to allow a document and content management system such as a file server, a document management server, or the like to interoperate with another system such as a groupware, a bulletin board, an email system, or the like by using RSS without development work for interoperability. CONSTITUTION: An RSS service apparatus receives a request for RSS information issuance from an issuer client in step 310. The RSS service apparatus generates an RSS address according to the request for RSS information issuance in step 320. The RSS service apparatus transmits the RSS address to the issuer client in step 330. The RSS service apparatus receives a request for the RSS address from a user client in step 340. The RSS service apparatus sends a query using query conditions included in the RSS address to a file service apparatus and receives information about files and directories from the file service apparatus in step 350. The RSS service apparatus determines whether a target directory has a sub directory in step 360. If it is determined that the target directory has a sub directory in step 360, the RSS service apparatus generates an RSS address of the sub directory in step 370. The RSS service apparatus generates RSS information including the information about files in the target directory and the RSS address of the sub directory and sends the generated RSS information to the user client in step 380. If it is determined that the target directory does not have a sub directory in step 360, the RSS service apparatus generates RSS information including the information about files in the target directory and sends the generated RSS information to the user client in step 380.
