Included Message:
The MIT Research Program on Communications Policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is proud to announce the release of the Digital Information Infrastructure Guide (DIIG).
What is DIIG?
---
The Digital Information Infrastructure Guide (DIIG) is an online resource to facilitate the development of the National Information Infrastructure (NII). DIIG is intended to provide government, business and academic leaders with easy access to information about current research project(s) and critical public and private initiatives being developed for tomorrow's information infrastructure. Specifically, DIIG documents research conducted by NII stakeholders and models the interaction between NII stakeholders and their interests. DIIG will provide an invaluable impartial data resource for coordinating and guiding the development of the National Information Infrastructure.
How do I access DIIG?
---
DIIG is available in "gopherspace" and in World Wide Web "hypertextspace".
If you have a WWW client (e.g. Mosaic), open URL http://farnsworth.mit.edu/
If you are using a gopher client (e.g. Turbogopher), point it at farnsworth.mit.edu (Port 70)
Highlights of DIIG:
---
o A collection of profiles of 37 NII-related projects and institutions.
o A collection of information from over 30 other NII-related projects.
o Links to NII information at 25 other gopher servers, including ACE, CPSR, CCN, EFF, HPCC, IITF, ISOC, NSF, NIST, NASA and InterNIC.
o A collection of Bills, Public Laws and Regulations dealing with communications.
My project is helping to build the NII, but it is not in DIIG.
