Biography
Feinler was born in Wheeling , West Virginia and graduated from West Free College. She was the first in the family to attend college. Feinler went to graduate school in biochemistry at Purdue University , but because of the financial situation, she decided to postpone her dissertation defense for a year or two and went to work in the chemical data service (at the American Chemical Society ) in Columbus , Ohio. She worked with a lot of chemical data and became interested in systematization. In 1960, Feinler found out about a job in California at the Stanford University Research Institute, her application was accepted. Initially, she was engaged in data collection and literature search at the institute [1] .
Feinler worked in the literary search department until 1972, when Engelbart Douglas invited her to join his ARC ( Augmentation Research Center ). By 1974, she was the lead scientist in developing the launch of the new Network Information Center for ARPANET . The center was designed to provide users, initially contacting by letter or phone, information about people, organizations. He then began registering names, providing node control, audit information, billing information, and distributing feedback requests ( RFCs ). Feiner, along with Steve Crocker, Jonathan Postel and Joyce Reynolds, developed the RFC as the official set of technical records for ARPANET and later for the Internet [2] [3] [4] .
Thanks Feinler there is a modern system of domain names (.com, .gov, .org). In 1989, Feinler joined NASA at the Ames Research Center . She retired in 1996 and in 2010 published the story of the Network Information Center. In 2012, she entered the Internet Hall of Fame
