Research Information in:

1. Databases of research organisations
   • historically grown

   • different formats/interfaces/modes ...

   • hand controlled -> high quality

   • but: missing the main part, the Internet

   ---

2. Web pages spread somehow over the Internet
   • starting at the Internet age (ca. since 1996)

   • controlled by the authors only

   • quality?

   • but freedom of any unnecessary rules
