Platform for Internet Content Selection

A specifi-cation for rating and labeling Internet content. Originally developed by the World Wide Web Consortium to enable parents, teachers, administrators, and other caretakers to control the material to which children have online access, its use has expanded to include the protection of privacy and intellectual property. PICS is not itself a system for rat-ing Internet content. Rather, it specifies the format conven-tions to be used by rating systems in devising labels that can be read by PICS-compatible software.
