Description of Working Group:
The Integration of Internet Information Resources Working Group (IIIR)
is chartered to facilitate interoperability between Internet
information services, and to develop, specify, and align protocols
designed to integrate the plethora of Internet information services
(WAIS, ARCHIE, Prospero, etc.) into a single ``virtually unified
information service'' (VUIS). Such protocols would include, but are not
limited to, update protocols for distributed servers, a ``query routing
protocol'' to pass queries between existing services, protocols for
gateways between existing and future services, and standard exchange
formats (perhaps based on Z39.50) for cross-listing specific
information.
Also, where necessary, IIIR will create technical documentation for
protocols used for information services in the Internet.
Goals and Milestones:
Sep 92 Track emerging Internet information services in order to
specify technical requirements for their integration into the
VUIS.
Sep 92 Create specifications for interoperability between Internet
information systems.
Sep 92 Liaise with other groups working on deployment and integration
of Internet information services: e.g., The Coalition for
Networked Information, RARE Working Group 3, etc.
Done Post an Internet-Draft on `A vision of integrated information
resources.'

Services.'

Services' to the IESG as an Informational RFC.
Done Submit final version of `A vision of integrated information
