This project is being conducted for The University of Melbourne and examines various methodologies for making research knowledge more accessible via the Web.

This part of the project examines ways of using pre-existing documents to generate web pages that describe research activities and can be appropriately indexed by search engines.

Keyword analysis has been performed by machine and the tagging has followed strict rules so that these methodologies might be automated for application to a large organization.

Pages have been constructed in various ways to investigate the efficacy of keywords: visible on the pages and hidden in tags.

The project has been commissioned by Pro Vice Chancellor, Professor Loane Skene.

We gratefully acknowledge the co-operation of PhD students, their supervisors and heads of departments for making information readily available and co-operating enthusiastically in the project.

Also to the administrative and technical staff who advised on departmental procedures and created links from their web sites.
