Foil 19 How should one set up the Hierarchical Network of InfoVision Servers ? (with education as example)

From InfoMall and NPAC's InfoVISION Initiative -- 1995 General Overview -- January 1,1995. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE
We do not know what are the killer applications of either the general or education specific NII.
Correspondingly we cannot say firmly how to set up specific servers or networks of the same
  • We have some mix of General, Specialized, Public and Private InfoVision Servers
Web Technologies such as HTML,HTTP,CGI,Java .. established the open multimedia interface which will enable an industry to be set up
  • This is analogous to IBM PC and DOS enabling the personal computer industry although this revolution will not be dominated by a single company such as Microsoft as networking assets (World Wide Web resources) are inherently produced in a distributed fashion
An important driver is the growing use of CDROM's with multimedia PC's the largest segment of Home PC market
  • Further educational products are hot sellers
