SILK Web has now been enhanced to allow users to view any of WYLBUR’s "&PUBLIC" data sets quickly from the Web. For example the normal operating schedule of NIH Computer Center is in the data set &PUBLIC.SCHEDULE. To review this from the Web—just open your browser and click on the Web address http://silk.nih.gov/public

/public.schedule. Note: the name of the &PUBLIC data set appears after the last slash—without the ampersand (&).

Since its introduction in January 1997, the SILK Web facility has become a very popular mechanism for effortlessly creating webpages, as well as for accessing enterprise databases through a Web interface. Many users have taken advantage of this facility by creating @WWW data sets that can be viewed by Web browsers. For details on the many features of this facility—including the original announcement—go to the webpage http://silk.nih.gov/silk/silkinfo/doc.htm.
