The Wide Area Information Server (WAIS) Project is an experiment,
automating the search and retrieval of many types of electronic information
over wide area networks.  The success of this project depends on the
formation of a large number of "Information Servers": computers that know
how to answer questions over a network.  WAIS can be used to locate a
wide variety of information available from Internet sites.
