A Special Interest Network
A Special Interest Network (SIN) is a set of network sites ("nodes")
that collaborate to provide a complete range of information activities
on a particular topic. SINS are emerging as an important new paradigm
for large scale collaboration on the Internet. Coordination
is achieved through logical design, automation, mirroring, standards,
and quality control. To be successful, SINs should strive to provide
reliable, authorative information services, to encourage
participation, and to accommodate growth.
