robot-description: The Informant robot continually checks the Web pages
 that are relevant to user queries.  Users are notified of any new or
 updated pages.  The robot runs daily, but the number of hits per site
 per day should be quite small, and these hits should be randomly
 distributed over several hours.  Since the robot does not actually 
 follow links (aside from those returned from the major search engines 
 such as Lycos), it does not fall victim to the common looping problems.
 The robot will support the Robot Exclusion Standard by early December, 1996.
robot-history: The robot is part of a research project at Dartmouth College.  
 The robot may become part of a commercial service (at which time it may be 
 subsumed by some other, existing robot).
robot-environment: research, service
