FIRS( Federated Internet Registry Service) is a distributed service for storing, locating and transferring information about Internet resources using [[LDAPv3]].<ref>[https://wiki.tools.ietf.org/wg/crisp/draft-ietf-crisp-firs-arch/draft-ietf-crisp-firs-arch-02-from-01.diff.txt wiki.tools.ietf.org]</ref>

FIRS is intended to provide a distributed [[WHOIS]]-like information service, using the [[LDAPv3]] specifications [RFC3377] for the data-formatting and query-transport functions.

FIRS has a collection of specifications which define the following service elements: Namespace Rules, Schema Definitions, Query-Processing Rules.

The original WHOIS service [RFC812] was intended to be a centralized repository of [[ARPANET]] resources and users. Over time a lot of [[WHOIS]] resouces sprung all over the world, only providing information about particular network resources under the control of a specific organization.
The original WHOIS service was intended to be a centralized repository of [[ARPANET]] resources and users. Eventually, many [[Whois]] resources sprung-up all over the world, only providing information about particular network resources under the control of a specific organization.
There was not a strict set of data-typing or formatting requirements. This resulted in different implementations providing different kinds of information. There were also problems with privacy and security.
Thus, FIRS was bourn out of a need for specifications which cumulatively define astructured and distributed information service, including an extensible framework and resource-specific definitions.

The [[IETF]] Cross Registry Internet Service Protocol ([[CRISP]]) working group of the [[IETF]] is responsible for development of FIRS.
