EINet Directory Services

The diverse information and services available to the Internet community is growing by leaps and bounds. The ability of any one user to find and access information in a timely fashion depends on directory (location) services that can quickly point to the most promising sources of service or information. Such a service must also reflect the ever-changing landscape of information, so that new information is made visible quickly, and stale information references are purged.

EINet's directory services are aimed at supporting the current and future commercial use of the Internet. EINet is making an effort to collect, classify, and present the information that is now available to Internet users in a manner appropriate to a commercial setting. New commercial information will be incorporated as it becomes available.

The first instance of EINet's directory service is called the EINet Galaxy. Galaxy is a searchable electronic directory containing thousands of categorized, up-to-date information references.
