Architecture of KRPAN

• In the paper we address the operation of an agency that provides information in a newspaper-like form on the information highway. We describe the software architecture and the physical layout of KRPAN, a kernel that provides the support necessary to operate such an agency. KRPAN is a distributed system which employs intelligent caching to improve space and network utilization. The implementation of KRPAN relies on standardized formats of data which permits usage of commonly available tools. At the end we touch legal and ethical questions and describe how KRPAN helps to solve them.
