Steve, :> :> It sounds good, but wouldn't it be better to formalize :> certain aspects of the structure of the WWW VL pages so :> that the information could be derived directly from them :> without creating another html document? :> Fine! :> E.g.: :> :> 1. put the description of the WWW VL document either :> at some standard location in the document or a link to it :> from a standard spot in the document, perhaps with a :> specially labelled tag; :> I suggest we put in our documents, just after the introduction, this: <!-- desc --> Here I describe what this field stands for <!-- end_desc --> :> 2. standardize the format for listing of sub-fields (I :> have already streamlined their listing on the WWW VL :> Engineering page); :> Just after this description, I suggest we introduce the new field "What's new" Then, we start the information by <!-- new --> and end it with <!-- end_new --> Then, we have the field "Virtual Library Specialized fields" Here, we reference all the specialized fields that are conformant with the virtual library standards, as defined in http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Administration.html We start the list by <!-- fields --> and end it with <!-- end_fields --> then, the field "Other specialized connections" Here, we reference all other specialized fields Then, we start our document. :> 3. standardize the link from a WWW VL page to the page of :> maintainers of the sub-fields of that page, and standardize :> the formats of the sub-field maintainers' personal pages :> that are pointed to (at least to the extent that it is easy :> to pull their email addresses out) -- could just have a :> specially labelled tag that everyone puts on their email :> address, e.g. :> All right, let us refer to the page of maintainers of the sub-fields in the section "Virtual Library Specialized fields": at the end of it, we could have an anchor like "(to <A HREF="...">mail the maintainers</A>)" Email addresses of the sub-maintainers should be enclosed with <!-- email --> and <!-- end_email --> in their personnal page :> Always trying to be as lazy as possible! ;-) :> True, so let's just give an example: Have a look at http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Examples/Physics.html If you all agree, I'll modify .../Administration.html accordingly Regards, Arthur -- Arthur Secret, phone:(41-22) 767-37-55 Technical Student at CERN, e-mail: secret@dxcern.cern.ch
