Process Criteria

Process criteria focus on the processes which exist to support a resource over time. The system that lies between the creation of the information by an author and the retrieval of the information by users has many variables which can affect the quality of a resource for a user. The Internet is a very volatile environment and resources may be edited, moved or deleted at any moment. Archives or editions of resources are often not kept and the information may be lost forever.

There are 3 main sections under which Process may be evaluated:

Information Integrity

Site Integrity

System Integrity
