Technical Standards

Our Preferred Browser and Default Homepage

Firefox is our preferred browser. Current versions can be downloaded for Linux, Mac and Windows at www.mozilla.com.

http://www.newcastle.edu.au/ should be set as the default homepage for your browser(s), as this will continually be updated with University information, news and events.

Metadata

Metadata is critical for content searches, cataloguing and storage of content items and business auditing. Every piece of data stored in the website should have metadata attached to it, such as keywords describing the content purpose, or content expiry dates, which can be used to automatically notify users when content needs refreshing.

We are presently creating taxonomy and processes, which will manage metadata information.
