For information services, an experimental gopher server was installed early in 1993 but was never really expanded to a full service. Shortly before Christmas 1994, an SRS-WWW server was installed. A major effort of the Swedish EMBnet node has, by a central decentralisation decision, been devoted to the transfering of EMBL nucleotide data to all Swedish universities. To enhance the transfer of data the NDT protocol was constructed and implemented. It is now used for all EMBL nucleotide data redistributions within Sweden.
All work is funded by the Swedish research councils.
