Description
An Article is a discreet piece of written prose that is acts as an independent portion of a publication such as a newspaper or series of blog posts. The article object provides a description of the article, so it may not be necessary to provide the full contents of the article in an activity entry. If you are already syndicating articles in atom or rss the only element you need to add is the object type at the entry. See implied activity for more details.
