- 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:
-
- Ongoing Track emerging Internet information services in order to specify
- technical requirements for their integration into the VUIS.
-
- Ongoing 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.
-
- Ongoing Create specifications for interoperability between Internet
- information systems.
