Information organisation on the Web? It is basically about respect and trust

Abstract

After briefly raising questions about the data, information, knowledge debate, the problems of the Web as a source of authoritative information are reviewed using historical equivalences and metaphor. Secure Web searching is described and placed in the context of current cultural and intellectual concerns. Two important characteristics of significant Web information are then identified ‐ respect and trust. The importance of these qualities in the electronic context is then explored.
