[Development of a base system for information dissemination of the Internet].
The development of information and computing infrastructure at NIHS (NICI), enabled us to provide a good environment for storing information that can be accessed by the Internet. Information can be stored either on WWW servers or on databases. All databases were developed on PC using database management systems such as 4th Dimension or Access, and were transferred to a UNIX machine with the database management system Sybase. A tool for accessing databases via the WWW (Web) was developed. This interface program used a freeware called Genera. Tools were also implemented for handling the so called VRML worlds.
