v QUERY (MOLECULAR BASED TAXONOMY OR GENETICAL BASED TAXONOMY) AND (AQUATIC MAMMALS NOT TERRESTRIAL MAMMALS)

EXPLANATION
This query retrieves information on mammals living in aquatic habitants (i.e. water environment) hierarchical classification based on their genetic structures this could be termed as molecular taxonomy or genetic taxonomy, hence the specification of both linked together by OR in the query. The other side of the query specifies that the taxonomy request is associated with mammals living in water and should exclude those living on land, hence both concept are linked by NOT. Query protocols are rules or guilds followed to facilitate retrieval of information in electronic documents repository, with the constant rise in electronic information on the internet, electronic libraries, database e.t.c. It became important to create common guidelines to help information seekers easily access the information they need, query protocols also help standardize information retrieving process, a number of solution have been designed and they include WASI, Whois, Z39.50

WASI
It is an acronym for wide Area Information Servers, it started as a joint effort of a number of organization but majorly Thinking Machines Corporation instigated the development of the query protocol solution in 1989 and the first prototype developed in 1990, it is design on clientserver model of computing, it consist of several components defining a protocol for communicating queries between clients (requesting information) and servers (information repository), also it has an index builder for indexing collected information (wasindex), it is currently one of the main search engine connect with the World Wide Web. It is available in two forms, a commercial form and a free form.
