Client / server

(all)

The data are accessed by clients (e.g. netscape) from servers (e.g. a Web server or a WAIS server). This is a particularly safe way of accessing data because the server can restrict the access for: personal use only, a restricted set of users, corporate-wide use or public use.

See also ``security'' and ``billing / activity log''.
