CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Kevin Gamiel/MCNC - CNIDR
Minutes of the Integration of Internet Information Resources Working
Group (IIIR)
Z39.50 Over TCP/IP
Clifford Lynch discussed his paper on using the Z39.50 Search and
Retrieve protocol directly over TCP as opposed to OSI. The paper was
introduced in Amsterdam by Jim Fullton. Members of the group requested
that the paper be resubmitted to the list for further review. The paper
will be submitted as a candidate for an Informational RFC.
WAIS and Z39.50
Margaret St. Pierre discussed the Internet-Draft ``WAIS over Z39.50
1988.'' The document was submitted to the IIIR list on October 27, 1993
for review. It is being considered as an Informational RFC profiling
the use of Z39.50 version 1988 by the traditional WAIS protocol. The
document is meant to be an overview of current implementation rather
than a rigorous technical specification. It addresses such issues as
the history of the WAIS protocol as well as assumptions made by the WAIS
community. The group offered no additions or corrections to the
document.
Quality Assurance
With the growing numbers of commercial products based on protocols such
as Gopher, the need for quality assurance has increased. Quality
assurance in this context addresses such issues as invalid pointers to
data objects, interoperability among the current information systems and
the ability to contact information maintenance personnel. A mailing
list has been established named quality@sunsite.unc.edu. To subscribe,
send a message to listserv@sunsite.unc.edu with ``subscribe quality
<real name>'' in the text. If activity on this list is substantial,
the group will consider moving activity into IIIR in Seattle. An
informal BOF on quality assurance was held by Mitra following this IIIR
meeting. The notes from that BOF will be posted to the IIIR list.
Format Types Registry
The idea of a data types registry was discussed in Amsterdam. Greg
Vaudreuil agreed to write a document on using the MIME content type
registry in Amsterdam, but that document was never posted to the IIIR
list. Area Director John Klensin indicated that the document had been
denied by the IESG based on the fact that it undermined an existing RFC.
During the second IIIR meeting, Jon Postel announced that a solution
would be worked out to allow assignment of a wide variety of new types
to the MIME specification. This might include such things as
registering a 'Application' type and allowing registry of additional
subtypes under this. The discussion will be taken to the list.
The Vision Document
The Vision document was approved for progression as an Informational RFC
after appropriate text was added to make it clear that the IIIR Working
Group believed this to be a valid vision of the future but that this was
not the consensus of all members of the group. Chris Weider stated that
the appropriate text would be added and the document would be moved on.
Resource Transponders
The Resource Transponder document was approved for moving to
Informational RFC following the same pattern as the Vision document.
Again Chris stated that the appropriate text would be added and the
document would be moved on.
HTML/HTTP
This topic was deferred to the list due to the absence of Tim
Berners-Lee.
Horton Hears a WHOIS
This presentation had been given in the WHOIS and Network Information
Lookup Service Working Group (WNILS) meeting to substantially the same
audience, and Simon Spero graciously waived it in IIIR to allow more
time for other items. Thanks, Simon!
Gopher0
After some discussion, an acceptable compromise was reached to clear up
minor problems in RFC 1436. These changes will be made and the RFC
resubmitted.
Data Elements
The non-existent Data Elements Working Group reported that the effort to
define standard data elements for networked objects was unsuccessful.
The work to define standard templates will be done in a different
working group. That particular working group has not yet been created,
and needs to fit in with the reorganization of the directory services
working groups planned for the Directory Services Directorate. More
discussion will be taken to the list.
