-
- Resource Transponders
-
- Chris Weider discussed his Resource Transponder Internet-Draft. Scott
- Kaplan of FTP mentioned that a similar concept was already under
- development in the Service Location Protocol Working Group for modems
- and other hardware; Chris agreed to look at the SLP stuff to see if
- there was any synergy.
-
- Vision of Integrated Information Services Document
-
- Peter Deutsch presented the Vision of Integrated Information Services
- document that he and Chris Weider had developed. It was mentioned that
- this architecture provides a trivial level of interoperability between
- currently deployed services, and can provide a foundation for
- integrating new services. Also, in the discussions of the `Axioms of
- Information Services', an axiom was added by the Group: ``Users want to
- have the ability to look under the hood''.
-
- Start Work on Taxonomy Document
-
- The taxonomy document's contents were discussed; it was finally settled
- that it would categorize the various available tools by functionality
- (along several different schemes) and would point out gaps in the
- current tool mix in light of the architecture provided in the Vision
- document. Although there was not a universal consensus that such a
- document was needed, there was a rough consensus that such a document
- could teach us a lot about what tools we have and what tools we need.
- Peter Deutsch and Chris Weider volunteered to take a first cut at the
- paper for Amsterdam.

- Internet Information Framework
-
- Chris Weider discussed the Internet Information Framework developed by
- the IESG and several working group Chairs. This framework lays out the
- administrative structure for working groups working in the information
- services area. In particular, a new working group will not be formed
- for every information services protocol developed; instead IIIR will
- take the responsibility of documenting new and existing protocols and
- shepherding their standardization. Examples of the protocols IIIR will
- cover include GOPHER (RFC 1436), World Wide Web, and Z39.50. As there
- are active communities for these protocols, IIIR will simply help the
- standardization process and may also serve as a mediator if many
- incompatible versions of the same base protocol appear. For those new
- protocols which are needed by the integration effort or are identified
- in the taxonomy paper, IIIR will work with the IESG to determine if a
- new working group should be formed or if the work can be done in IIIR.
