NDLP Glossary - G
- GIF
-
Graphics Interchange Format. This file format, which is widely
used on
the WWW for images within documents (inline images), was originally
developed in 1987 by CompuServe. Thumbnail versions of NDLP images
are displayed over the WWW
in GIF format, which delivers a high level of compression (resulting in
very small files to deliver over the network) but is limited to
256 colors or levels of grey (8 bits per pixel). All graphical WWW
browsers support inline GIF images.
- GILS
- Government Information
Locator Service. This project, established under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, aims to develop a decentralized, distributed catalog
of government information resources. A Z39.50 application profile has
been developed to support the project.
