O'Neill	Trends in the Evolution of the Public Web	2003		.htm	text/html	4415	259	62	This article examines three key trends in the development of the public Web — size and growth, internationalization, and metadata usage — based on data from the OCLC Office of Research Web Characterization Project [1], an initiative that explores fundamental questions about the Web and its content through a series of Web samples conducted annually since 1998. Combining their estimate with results from the 2000 Web Characterization Project survey, and assuming that Web sites of all types are, on average, the same size in terms of number of pages, 41 percent of the surface Web, or between 10 20 terabytes, belonged to the public Web in 2000. In 1999, the second year of the Web Characterization Project survey, the public Web sites identified in the sample were traced back to entities — individuals, organizations, or business concerns — located in 76 different countries, suggesting that the Web's content at that time was fairly inclusive in terms of the global community.	./cache/work_u5el44s3gfhwfm44x6vveckrgq.htm	./txt/work_u5el44s3gfhwfm44x6vveckrgq.txt
