Issues to be > considered include copyright, proprietary data declarations, > indexing and content classification of pages, use of epoch > transparent dates, context (author, responsible organization, > currency, ...), multinational sensitivities, browser tolerance, > accomodation of persons with disabilities, and bandwith > efficiencies. The objective is to improve the productivity of > Intranet/Extranet web operations in terms of locating relevant > information, and efficient development and maintenance practices." > >------------------- > Regards, Phill Jenkins IBM Special Needs Systems
