Information It is a common misconception that GILS locator records are merely another variety of "META" tagging for Internet information resources. While GILS locator records are quite useful for networked information resources, GILS locator records are designed to act as pointers to ALL kinds of information including people, organizations, events, artifacts, etc. These and countless other sources of information worldwide are not now, and in some cases will never be, either electronic or network accessible. GILS locator records must have a representation on electronic networks; but the referenced information resources need not.
