Explanation:
It seems they're referring to independent 'networks' that have 'special' connections to the internet.

AS standing for AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS [see details in Web reference 1]

WS standing for WEB SERVICE(S) [see details in Web reference 2]

Definitions in Italian

AS

"Un sistema autonomo (Autonomous System, AS), in riferimento ai protocolli di routing, è un gruppo di router e reti sotto il controllo di una singola e ben definita autorità amministrativa."

[source http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistema_autonomo ]

Note how this Wiki entry uses the English AS instead of SA.

So basically it is a system, independent but connected (if they want to) to online information services such as those listed in the translation piece - "...servizi esposti sulla rete (planet, intranet etc)."

WS

"Web Service (servizio web) è un sistema software progettato per supportare l'interoperabilità tra diversi elaboratori su di una medesima rete; caratteristica fondamentale di un Web Service è quella di offrire un'interfaccia software utilizzando la quale altri sistemi possono interagire con il Web Service stesso attivando le operazioni descritte nell'interfaccia tramite appositi "messaggi" inclusi in una "busta": tali messaggi sono, solitamente, trasportati tramite il protocollo HTTP e formattati secondo lo standard XML."
[source http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_service ]

My understanding

My understanding is that neither must offer directory listings, or modus status - although they can - as per the translation piece in question:

"...non devono essere abilitate funzionalità del tipo directory listing, modus status ... ."

[Note: the uppercase D 'Directory in my first example sentence is a different type than the usual lowercase 'directory.']

In summary - they're talking about independent 'branches' offering data management, which are connected to the internet in 'special' ways.

Example sentence(s):
  • In the following, Directory objects have been defined to represent IP and <b>AS (Autonomous System)</b> namespace in the Directory. [web source]
  • The Web Services Transaction protocol family includes the WS-AtomicTransaction and the WSBusinessActivity specifications in order to carry out distributed transactions in a <b>Web Services (WS)</b> environment. [web source]
