As promised (some time ago) here are the Architecture lists we compiled for
our purposes. It has a Sydney, Australia bias! Many thanks to Jeanne
Brown at Nevada who sent a great list of useful resources. I have included

GOPHER & WAIS

GOPHER
Gopher is a protocol or software first developed at the University of
Minnesota. It provides menus which list servers on many sites.

WAIS

WAIS - The Wide Area Information Server

WAIS is pronounced "ways", and was developed at Thinking Machines
Corporation.

WAIS is a database system that exploits two recently popularised computer
science concepts: the client-server model, and full-text databases. It
gives the ability for users to search existing databases of articles,
books, references, abstracts and specialist information (such as genome
databases, usenet group archives, ftp-site listings, etc), and for people
with information to publish it at little expense and effort over the
Internet.

The client-server model is a commonly used method of providing services
over a network. The end-user uses a client program to access information by
communicating with a server program. Typically the server and client are
running on different machines and communicate over the network. You need
not have a server of your own to be able to use the client.

Example:

The example below will show you how to find out about Urban Planning around
the world, for example who is the coordinator of the "Urban Institute"in
Washington, a phone number and address. To find this out we will use WHOIS
which is a database which gives access to information about people, centres
and organisations.
