Definitions of Intranet and their weaknesses with respect to non-experts • An internal company communications network using Internet protocol allowing communications within an organisation.It can be understood as LAN + Internet. • An internal company communications network using the same protocol as the Internet allowing communication within an organisation.

Normally Intranets belong to businesses or administrations and permit the persons working in those organisations to share and exchange information in the same way as over the Internet but with access restricted to internal users. Intranet can utilize the Internet. • A private network which utilises the same techniques as the Internet but is accessible only by authorised users.It can be understood as LAN + Internet. • A network based on TCP/IP protocols (an Internet) belonging to an organisation, usually a corporation, accessible only by the organisation's members, employees, or others with authorisation. An intranet's Web sites look and act just like any other Web sites, but the firewall surrounding an intranet fends off unauthorised access. Intranet´s Web site is not necessary.

WSIS Thematic Meeting on Measuring the Information society 2. Replace an uneasy understandable question by an easy understandable question that answer is highly correlated with the answer of original one. 3.
