- FTP" [1] and are an initial attempt a providing a consistent naming
- scheme for indexing information for Internet information "objects" such
- as documents, services and site information.
-

- 1. INTRODUCTION
-
- The templates in this document may, at first glance, appear to be very
- long and complicated. However, a closer inspection will reveal that this
- is in fact not the case and that there is a consistent, logical structure
- throughout. In many cases only a fraction of the data elements will need
- to be filled out to provide a useful entry in your publishing
- environment, be it an anonymous FTP server or other forum. Many of the
- repeated fields can be eliminated with the judicious use of USER or
- ORGANIZATION templates. This document does not describe the valid range
- of values for each data element. These are listed in [1] and users should
- consult that document for futher information and examples.
