When e-mail and the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) became available around 1976, the NIC used them to deliver information to users via the network. DCA used the name Defense Data Network to refer to the combination, and the NIC served as its information center. In 1975, the Defense Communication Agency (DCA) took operational control and support, and over time split the ARPANET into research and military networks. The host table itself was continuously updated on almost a daily basis. The NWG and Feinler's team defined a simple text file format for host names in 1974, and revised the format several times as the networks evolved. This led to establishing the NIC as a separate project with Feinler as manager. Engelbart continued leading-edge research in the ARC, while the NIC provided a service to all network users. The NIC provided the first links to on-line documents using the NLS Journal system developed at ARC. Feinler, working with Steve Crocker, Jon Postel, Joyce Reynolds and other members of the Network Working Group (NWG), developed RFCs into the official set of technical notes for the ARPANET and later the Internet. After the Network Operations Center at Bolt, Beranek and Newman brought new hosts onto the network, the NIC registered names, provided access control for terminals, audit trail and billing information, and distributed Request for Comments (RFCs). The NIC provided reference service to users (initially over the phone and by physical mail), maintained and published a directory of people (the "white pages"), a resource handbook (the "yellow pages", a list of services) and the protocol handbook. By 1974 she was the principal investigator to help plan and run the new Network Information Center (NIC) for the ARPANET.
Her first task was to write a Resource Handbook for the first demonstration of the ARPANET at the International Computer Communication Conference. ARPANET and NIC įeinler was leading the Literature Research section of SRI's library when, in 1972, Doug Engelbart recruited her to join his Augmentation Research Center (ARC), which was sponsored by the Information Processing Techniques Office of the US Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA). Instead, in 1960, she relocated to California and joined the Information Research Department at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) where she worked to develop the Handbook of Psychopharmacology and the Chemical Process Economics Handbook. There she became intrigued with the challenges of creating such large data compilations and never returned to biochemistry. Working at the Chemical Abstracts Service in Columbus, Ohio, she served as an assistant editor on a huge project to index the world's chemical compounds. in biochemistry from Purdue University when she decided to earn some money by working for a year or two before starting on her thesis. She received an undergraduate degree from West Liberty State College, the first from her family to attend college.
Feinler was born on Main Wheeling, West Virginia, where she also grew up.
