I think this is a good way of approaching this coding. It seems like epistemology of the web. I wonder if simply the URL is not enough. I would also suggest you somehow base it on an existing XML schema or that such a schema be developed for AoIR. I wonder if there is some ISO standard? Can not edu com org an country codes work in some way? I use these in my ability to assess web page quality for use in my studies. On 6-Apr-08, at 8:26 PM, Philippa Smith wrote:
As part of a large study on Internet use we are surveying people on what websites they access most regularly. For coding purposes these websites need to be categorised and we are wishing to establish if there is an existing classification system already in use by researchers for a question of this nature.
