[Nils Pharo]

Hello,
I am a doctoral student working on the topic of user's search 
strategies in the World Wide Web, I would like to put forward a 
question concerning the different types of services on the web. I am 
trying to classify different services with respect to their form, 
content, ownership etc., and I am curious as to whether such work 
have been done by others previously and would be glad to get any 
information about this.

So far I am aware of the OCLC's Netfirst database's document types 
and the "Dublin Core Standard Resource Types", as well as the 
different search engines' and "Web subject indices'" content 
categories. 

Do any of you know about similar work done in this area?

Hopefully yours
Nils
