Un autre développement, encore expérimental, se prépare aux États-Unis, celui des serveurs d’information à vaste zone(WAIS-Wide-Area Information Server). Il vise à interconnecter des sources multiples, aussi bien des serveurs spécialisés que des réseaux locaux, à l'aide d’un protocole capable de collationner, collecter et intégrer les informations et de les véhiculer sur un réseau national à très grande capacité. L'objectif est de permettre à l'usager de formuler directement ses questions et d’ouvrir des dossiers dynamiques, qui seront automatiquement tenus à jour par abonnement. 5, record 2, French, - Wide%20Area%20Information%20Server
