Abstract

   The strength of the TISDAG (Technical Infrastructure for Swedish
   Directory Access Gateways) project's DAG proposal is that it defines
   the necessary technical infrastructure to provide a single-access-
   point service for information on Swedish Internet users.  The
   resulting service will provide uniform access for all information --
   the same level of access to information (7x24 service), and the same
   information made available, irrespective of the service provider
   responsible for maintaining that information, their directory service
   protocols, or the end-user's client access protocol.
