Hey Joe, I think that the approach would be to obtain a "statistically representative sampling." The question is, "A sampling of what?" /Roger -----Original Message----- From: Chiusano Joseph [mailto:chiusano_joseph@b...] Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 11:17 AM To: Costello, Roger L.; xml-dev@l... Subject: RE: [Watchers of the Web] The evolving form of information on the Web? <Quote> Okay, that's what I am seeking; that's my objective. How do I obtain it? /Roger </Quote> Probably not possible, IMHO - too big and ambitious a task. Would require a snapshot (or continuous monitor, for ongoing results) of every single file created everywhere in the world (that is, those not behind firewalls).

Hi Folks, I have been having some offline discussions with Greg Hunt. He is helping me find clarity on what I am seeking: Greg: What are you trying to achieve really? Roger: I just want to know the state of the Web today, with respect to the use of content types. For example, 15 years ago HTML was clearly the dominate content type of the Web. Is that true today? Has a shift occurred? Perhaps other content types have nudged out HTML for top ranking? I want a "content type snapshot" each year so that I can see how the Web is evolving. I want to be a Watcher of the Web's evolution. To be a Watcher, I need hard, concrete data. Okay, that's what I am seeking; that's my objective. How do I obtain it? /Roger ----------------------------------------------------------------- The xml-dev list is sponsored by XML.org <http://www.xml.org>, an initiative of OASIS <http://www.oasis-open.org> The list archives are at http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the subscription manager: <http://www.oasis-open.org/mlmanage/index.php>
