Web Page Conventions

Appropriate Web Page Use Case

• Web pages are brought in via citations but Reports, Figures, Images, etc.
• Web tools are categorized as web pages.

Distinguishing Webpages from Datasets

After web page type references are imported, a QA should be done before production release to check if any would be better categorized as datasets.

Field Conventions

Field	Description
identifier	Fine as UUID. See default: UUID. GCIS will automatically generate one from a blank identifier field
url	The full url, not including any parameters. Parameters should be collected on either the activity or references as appropriate.
title	Whatever the Reference names the URL otherwise as stated on the webpage itself correct as of the creation of the object.
access_date	deprecated. The access date for this webpage. Should not be used, as we have unique URL requirement. A access date should go on either the Reference object (e.g. if this is a referenced publication) or an Activity object (e.g. if this cited on a Figure)

Provenance Conventions

• Webpages are valid to be cito:CitedBy, usually by Figures or Images.
• They do not use cito:Cites, as they are not USGCRP products.
