Abstract: INFOD (Information Dissemination) provides a general means
to determine which messages are to be sent from which publishers to
which consumers based upon information kept in a registry. To support
this, INFOD specifies interfaces that allow the characterization (in
the registry) of publishers, consumers and various other components
using vocabularies that are meaningful to members of the communities
they belong to.  INFOD makes use of a notify operation similar to that
defined by the WS-Notification specification to send information
between publishers and consumers.  

INFOD also extends the publish/subscribe paradigm by allowing
consumers to be determined dynamically based on the message
content. Additionally, INFOD allows subscribers to determine what
defines an event and which messages should be created in response to
these events.
