Standards and Web site credibility

The increasing business and personal use of the pervasive World Wide Web is creating a demand for methods to implement and evaluate Web site credibility, to improve information retrieval capabilities and to effectively manage contents. IEEE std.2001-2003 on Web site management contains many elements that facilitate identification and selection of credible content spawning the strict boundaries of the countries. We outline those elements, starting from real nowadays issues and showing how they can resolved by applying them in both the task of identifying credible sites and selection of these. It reflects both the impact that best practice standards can bring to this challenging area, but is also a route for broad dissemination and adoption of the work.
