About websites

• A website may comprise web pages, multimedia elements, applications, or downloadable resources, all hosted under a single domain or subdomain structure.
• A website is contextual; its purpose, scope, and audience influence its structure, content, and functionality.
• Websites may have multiple names, titles, or branded identifiers and may change over time (e.g., redesigns, domain updates, versioning).
• A website may be associated with ownership, administration, and governance metadata, such as organization, legal status, and publication date.

Distinction or terms from related entities

• Website vs web page: a website is the collection; a web page is an individual document or resource within that collection.
• Website vs work: a website may constitute a work in digital form, but it is primarily a delivery platform; a work refers to the intellectual content itself.
• Website vs organization: a website may be operated by an organization, but the organization is the entity, not the digital content.

Tips

• Create different collections for easy maintenance, exporting, or sharing
• We do not produce a list of work items, quotes, paraphrase, text blocks or websites as these are generally not required when writing documents.
• You can export any collection in full directly from the collection record
• If a record has been added in multiple places and needs updating, you can do so by editing the record and it will automatically update all instances
• If you need to cite a website or blog, add the record to your Reference works library
