Welcome to DRIS discussion list! After holding the BOF in 59th meeting, we will start the WG application process. As the advice of APPS, we still should found more people to join its discussion list. DRIS is a large system, without enough people, the new WG may not meet its milestone. If you are interested in this topic, sincerely wish your could join its discussion.
As the agenda of IIRI (http://www.ietf.org/ietf/04mar/iiri.txt), This new WG will cover the Internet search engine, Digital Library, Information GRID, etc. Any related topic could be discussed in this list. We all have a common goal: a usable Internet information infrastructure. Although it's the first time that IETF organized the formal discuss for Internet information retrieval problem, there has been many sporadic discussion for it in other place like IRTF. Now search engine has become the hottest topic since 2003. Some disadvantages in current search engine attracted many experts to find the better solution. IETF may be the best place to discuss the new Internet information retrieval system.
