From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Knowbot Information Service
  
      (KIS) Also known as
      netaddress.   The Knowbot Information Service (KIS) provides a
      uniform user interface to a variety of {remote directory
      service}s such as {whois}, {finger}, {X.500}, {MCIMail}.   By
      submitting a single query to KIS, a user can search a set of
      remote {white pages} services and see the results of the
      search in a uniform format.
  
      There are several interfaces to the KIS service including
      {electronic mail} and {telnet}.   Another KIS interface
      imitates the Berkeley {whois} command.
  
      KIS consists of two distinct types of modules which interact
      with each other (typically across a network) to provide the
      service.   One module is a user agent module that runs on the
      KIS mail host machine.   The second module is a remote server
      module (possibly on a different machine) that interrogates
      various database services across the network and provides the
      results to the user agent module in a uniform fashion.
      Interactions between the two modules can be via messages
      between Knowbots or by actual movement of Knowbots.
  
      There are electronic mail interfaces for KIS at the hosts
      cnri.reston.va.us and sol.bucknell.edu.   Send a message
      containing just the word "man" to or
      .   Telnet: info.cnri.reston.va.us
      port 185.
