PICS
Platform for Internet Content Selection. A set of protocols developed by the World Wide Web consortium for communicating a rating for a Web, FTP or newsgroup server to an Internet client. PICS is intended to give users a method for categorizing, rating, and filtering Web and other Internet content. The protocols are extensions to both HTTP and HTML and allow users to customize selection criteria, or adopt, from a third party such as a Parent Teacher Association, established selection criteria or a list of sites to be screened out.
