`ternal command.
`internal font n. A font that is already loaded in a
`printer's memory (ROM) when the printer is shipped.
`Compare downloadable font, font cartridge.
`internal interrupt 11. An interrupt generated by the
`processor itself in response to certain predefined situa(cid:173)
`tions, such as an attempt to di vide by zero or an arith(cid:173)
`metic value exceeding the number of bits allowed for
`it. See also interrupt. Compare external interrupt.
`internal memory 11. See primary storage.
`internal modem 11. A modern constructed on an ex(cid:173)
`pansion card to be installed in one of the expansion
`slots inside a computer. Compare external modem,
`integral modem.
`internal schema n. A view of information about the
`physical files composing a database, including
`filenames, file locations, accessing methodology, and
`actual or potential data derivations, in a database
`model such as that described by ANSI/X3/SPARC,
`that supports a three-schema architecrure. The inter(cid:173)
`nal schema corresponds 10 the schema in systems
`based on CODASYUDBTG. In a distributed data(cid:173)
`base, there may be a different internal schema at each
`location. See also coneeprua'l schema, schema.
`internal sort 11. 1. A so1ting operation that takes place
`on files completely or largely held in memory rather
`than on disk during the process. 2. A sorting proce(cid:173)

`internet t1. Short for internetwork. A set of computer
`networks that may be dissimilar and are joined to(cid:173)
`gether by m~ns of gateways that handle data transfer
`and conversion of messages from the sending net(cid:173)
`works' protocols to those of the receiving network.
`Internet 11. The worldwide collection of networks and
`gateways that use the TCP/IP suite of protocols to
`communicate with one another. At the heart of the
`Internet is a backbone of high-speed data communi(cid:173)
`cation lines between major nodes or host computers
`consisting of thousands of commercial, government'
`educational, and other computer systems, that route'
`data and messages. One or more Internet nodes can
`go off line without endangering the Internet as a ·
`whole or causing communications on the Internet to
`stop, because no single computer or network controls
`it. The genesis of the Internet was a decentralized
`network called ARPANET created by the Department
`of Defense in 1969 to facilitate communications in
`the event of a nuclear attack. Eventually other net(cid:173)
`works, including BITNET, Usenet, UUCP, and
`NSFnet, were connected to ARPANET. Currently, the
`Internet offers a range of services to users, such as
`FrP, e-mail, the World Wide Web, Usenet news, Go(cid:173)
`pher, IRC, telnet, and others. Also called the Net. See
`also BITNET, FfP' (defmition I), Gopher, lRC,
`NSFnet, telnet1, Usenet, UUCP, World Wide Web.
`Internet2 11. A computer-network development
`project launched in 1996 by a collaborative group of
`120 universities under the auspices of the University
`Corporation for Advanced Internet Development
`(UCAID). The goal of Internet2, whose high-speed,
`fiberoptic backbone was brought online in early
`1999, is the development of advanced Internet tech·
`nologies and applications for use in research and
`education at the university level. Though not open for
`public use, lnternet2 and the technologies and appli(cid:173)
`cations developed by its members are intended to
`eventually benefit users of the commercial Internet as
`well. Compare Internet, Next Generation Internet.
