 === Info Interface ===
 
-The info interface is broken into three sections, '''Testbed''', '''Element''', and '''Substrate'''.  The '''Testbed''' section tells which testbeds have given elements to the topology.  They are identified by the name the experiment controller knows them by and include the [FeddAbout#ExperimentServices services] used by the testbed and any operations that the testbed supports.  Similarly the substrate and element sections describe the current state of the object, the testbed(s) to which it is bound and the services and operations it supports.
+The info interface allows a user to request information from the experiment controller about an existing federated experiment.  The request names the experiment.
