For those wondering what it is:

"This standard defines a client/server based service and protocol for
Information Retrieval. It specifies procedures and formats for a client to search a
database provided by a server, retrieve database records, and perform related
information retrieval functions. The protocol addresses communication between
information retrieval applications at the client and server; it does not address interaction
between the client and the end-user."
