>---------------------------------------
>Network Solutions' Applied Research group is announcing the availability
>of its new CNRP Pilot which includes a CNRP Service, client software, and
>a registration system for inserting common names into the service's database.
>The pilot can be found at http://cnrp.research.netsol.com/
>
>The pilot includes a service that has been seeded with data from the
>over 8 million domain-names found in Network Solutions' registrar
>domain-name database. Users can add to this database by registering
>as a user and adding any common-name they desire. The database currently
>supports three types of properties: categories in the form of North American
>Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes, locations using ISO 3166-1
>country and ISO 3166-2 region codes, and languages using RFC1766 language
>codes.  Registered users have each of these parameters at their disposal for
>inserting new common-names into the database.
>
>The pilot also includes the recently demonstrated Internet Explorer plugin
>that enables the user to type "go:<common name>" in the URL bar and have
>access to all of their favorite CNRP services. The plugin allows the user
>to register and query any number of CNRP services simultaneously. It is
>written using Microsoft standard COM tools which will allow the plugin's
>internal CNRP client engine to be used by any experience Visual Basic
>programmer.
>
>The future direction of the pilot includes enhancements to the database
>and plugin. Future client software includes a Mozilla plugin, a set
>of cross platform client libraries, and a Java implementation.
>
