THE RARE DOCUMENTATION CENTRE
The RARE-documentation centre is a specialized international
focal point for the storage, computer processing and dissemination of
information in the field of networking, telecommunications,
standardization, OSI etc.
What material is stored and made available and how is this information
structured?
The documentation centre gathers, processes and disseminates two
groups of information-sources; those which are generated within the
RARE community (internal) and those which are generated outside the
RARE community (external).
Internal information consists of :
- material from the RARE Working Groups and Task Forces
(agendas, meeting accounts, technical reports,
correspondence etc.)
- material from the REC and COA
- material from the RARE Secretariat
- information about and from RARE projects
- information about RARE community members (addresses, kind of
involvement)
- information about institutions which have contacts with RARE
(addresses, nature of involvement etc.)
External information exist of :
Monographs, standards, annual reports, (articles from)
periodicals, journals and newspapers, newsletters, bulletins,
conference reports and proceedings, agendas for coming events,
on-line discussion panels, draft documents, bibliographies,
directories, catalogues, on-line databases, cd roms.
The structuring of the information :
The main directory on "The RARE Document Store" is subdivided by
