Intranet

An Intranet is like a local Internet. It is not available outside the organisation's network, so it can be used to publish "in house" material such as meeting schedules, sensitive documents about projects, and internal "housekeeping" issues.

The intranet files are normal web pages and are read by standard web browsers. The main difference is that the files are stored on a local hard disk rather than a public web server.

A slightly broader version of an intranet, which has limited outside connections, is sometimes referred to as an 'extranet.'
