WWW.HR directory: Adding value by use of metadata

WWW.HR is a Web-based information service supported by the Croatian Academic and Research Network (CARNet). WWW.HR consists of two services: general info on Croatia and a directory of the Croatian Web sites. As of April 2001, the directory of Croatian Web sites contains about 6, 000 links, hierarchically organized in 15 categories and 375 subcategories. Sites are added based on submissions from webmasters. All newly submitted sites are reviewed by the administrator and added to the directory. The content of the directory is fully searchable by keyword and/or by Boolean expression. Introducing metadata in the directory is studied as a way of enabling better search capabilities and thus adding value to this information service. This paper presents the evolution of the WWW.HR directory, retrospecting its past and reviewing its current status, with a special emphasis on most recent developments and use of metadata.
