Hallo,

noch ein paar Fragen zur Archivierung von Internet-Quellen.

im vergangenen Jahr las ich  in 

American Library Association: Task Force on Metadata and the 
Cataloging Rules : Final Report, August 21, 1998 ; Appendix: 
Cataloging Problems with Web Sites

>The terms ?web page? and ?HTML page? are often used interchangeably. 
>However, for the purpose of the cataloging discussion presented, they are 
>hereby distinguished: A web page (including home or main page) refers to 
>visible, eye-readable, or so-called ?surface? data that are displayed to the 
>library user when accessing a web site, or URL; an HTML page refers to the 
>coded commands called ?tags? with ?underlying? data that are used by a web 
>browser to retrieve and display, in addition to assembling and arranging, 
>the web page. 

und als Schlussfolgerung:

>Also of importance is the need to consider two possible categories of 
>formally presented information to be used as appropriate in the cataloging 
>of Internet resources: 1) that which is visible, eye-readable, or ?surface" 
>information displayed on the screen (e.g., a web page); and 2) that which is 
>non-visible, hidden, or ?underlying,? coded information that is displayed 
>with a web browser. (These categories could also be tweaked to apply to 
>non-Internet resources.)

Nun zu meinen Fragen:

Was soll katalogisiert werden, die komplette "Internet-Quelle" oder nur ein
Abziehbild? 

Gehört die Funktionalitaet hypermedialer Web-Sites auch zu den zu
archivierenden Dokumenteigenschaften. Da ein archivierender Zugriff auf
Skripte oder Applets meist gar nicht moeglich ist, blieben also
substantielle mediale Anteile "auf der Strecke". 

Wie werden die archivierten "GByte an statischen Ressourcen" erschlossen?
