You've described most of the rss feed correctly so far. It's a summary of articles in a specific xml format. These summaries generally are teasers, and link to the full article.

There are different feeds from different sources. Each editor of the feed decides what goes into the feed.

Not sure what you're having difficulty understanding, so post back if you have a specific question. You may want to try googling: "What is a rss feed?"
