The Hyper-G protocol is a communications protocol designed for distributing, searching, and retrieving documents in Internet Protocol networks specifically from HTTP/HTML and Gopher servers.[1][2]
In Hyper-G all documents are in a root hierarchy, where all data is under with this hierarchy splitting into branches till the end data is reached. Hyper-G is intended to have one local server for the user to connect to, This local server then acts as a proxy fetching all outside data to the client. Hyper-G is meant to be inter-compatible with HTTP/HTML along with Gopher a the server is meant to be able to parse and convert these other standards for a consistence user interface. There was in originally plans to add support for FTP and WAIS, however that may have been scrapped.[citation needed] With the centralization of all data resources user and group rights management and auditing is substantially easier with Hyper-G allowing for both anonymous and authenticated user use, however that would likely down to implementation of the service.
