Talk:Content stamping
It seems like it might be unclear when someone is making a review of a website, and just of one web page, or some set of web pages. It's sometimes (but not always) clear to humans; less so to computers.
Examples of ambiguities:
- An interesting article that has been split across multiple pages. All pages form the work.
- A blog that has timely information on a subject, e.g., current events. Future pages that don't yet exist may effectively fall under the review.
- An entire website that has useful information.
- A web application that can only really be used interactively; the form not the content is what is interesting.

Valuation functions and general automation seems complex and unreliable to me. In theory it could be useful, but in practice you need a lot of rating to get something meaningful -- not because of the quality of the individual reviews (which may all be just fine), but because of the lack of a common rating standard, and even common criteria. So group A might find lots of new, interesting content, while group B is looking for a small set of content directly related to one subject area. The ratings of group A could be very helpful to group B, as they identify potentially interesting information. But the actual selection process is something group B wants to do themselves. Mixing the two groups really enables group B to do all of their own selection, as they can focus on a smaller set of content that has had some basic vetting. Aggregating and weighing ratings there doesn't seem very useful. -- Ian Bicking 11:15, 16 March 2007 (EDT)
