Description
The Forage Information System on the World Wide Web (FIS WWW) is a global forage information resource envisioned to become a comprehensive information system for all aspects of forages. WWW technologies provide an opportunity to link people and information in a work-sharing and access-on-demand environment via interlinking of computers. The FIS is a collection of Internet-based forage information linked and accessible via WWW access software programs (browsers), like NetscapeR. Browsers provide a unified interface for information on the Internet. They make it possible to access formatted text, color pictures, sound, and video. The “superstructure” for FIS WWW is being developed at Oregon State University. Major sections of FIS WWW include What’s New, Contents, Search, Topics, Resources, Classes, Organizations, and Projects. Topic subsections include Species, Pasture, Hay, Silage, Cover Crops, Quality, Animals, Pests, Statistics, and Economics. The URL address is: http:/ /www.forages.css.orst.edu/. Contributions are welcome. Please contact us at webmaster@forages.css.orst.edu.
